Abstract

Medical education is an important and multidimensional field. Students in the field of medical science experience various areas during their educational courses including theoretical courses, laboratory and practical experiences, and work in clinical environments. All of these aspects help students to prepare for real-life work environments.
The SPICES model is a framework for medical education, and it is an acronym for six key characteristics, including Student-centered, Problem-based, Integrated or Inter-professional, Community-based, Elective, and Systematic or planned that should be considered in the development and evaluation of medical education programs.
