Background: Social accountability in medical education refers to the ability of the medical education system to fulfil the health needs of people in society. Justice, quality, relevancy, effectiveness, professionalism, and community participation are known as six principles of social accountability. Even though medical schools have made efforts to educate physicians capable of addressing population health needs, shifts in population size and demographics, evolving patterns of disease distribution and prevalence, as well as the growing scope of specialized care have all progressively transformed those needs over time. In response to these needs, the concept of responsive doctors' and 'accountable medical schools' has recently emerged in medical education. Within our setting, the theoretical aspects of social accountability are well integrated into medical curricula and feature prominently in many seminars, a focus that is further reflected in a substantial body of published literature. Unfortunately, in practice, medical students still receive training that is not compatible with the needs of society, and they do not have sufficient ability to solve basic problems of the people. Thus, it seems we need a local model to educate and train the medical students to address the public’s health problems while focusing on social accountability. We undertook a study to determine the social accountability of medical schools. Design of the study was cross-sectional, and we employed a structured questionnaire including three assessment parts of structure, process, and outcome. The current report is a policy brief based on the findings of the study.
