dc.description.abstract	The Ugandan government has proposed major reforms to health education, including the introduction of standardized admission criteria across all universities and tertiary institutions offering medicine and nursing programmes. A key reform is the mandatory pre-internship examination for medical and nursing students, aimed at ensuring graduates meet quality standards before entering internship. The policy, known as the National Education and Training for Health Policy, also covers the full health workforce lifecycle, from recruitment and training to licensing and continuous professional development, under a single regulated framework. Health specialists have welcomed the reforms but emphasized the need for greater investment in trainer development to ensure effective implementation.
