Abstract

Academic clinical medicine is the driving force behind the development of medical science and medical profession in every health care system. This field of medicine in Slovenia requires better regulation. The article presents the situation in this field in Slovenia and the reason why such a situation persists as well as the consequences that will arise if the situation does not change. The editorial concludes with a call to Slovenian professionals and politicians to solve this problem.
