Résumé : Medical education has developed thanks to the advances in educational science. It is largely based on the principles of the social constructivism, and offers new didactic tools: active training, problem learning, learning by clinical reasoning, portfolio, conceptual cards… That requires a specific training in medical education, time, and a staff of teachers adapted to the student’s number. However, a current trend orientates the activities of the universities towards scientific excellence at the expense of teaching activities. University managers recommend the use of distance learning and electronic sources in order to reduce the teaching tasks in favor of research activities. We will try to highlight the internal conflicts generated by this situation.
