Summary "Nortin Hadler places current efforts to reform medical school curricula and residency programs in historical context, tracing the evolution of medical school curricula, residency and fellowship programs, and clinical practices and examining crucial junctures to locate the seeds for reform. Some believe that medical education and training should highlight literature, ethics, and culture, while others emphasize science and efficiency to abbreviate the time from entry to licensure. In practice, neither of these approaches maintains or improves patient care, which, Hadler argues, should be at the core of medical education and practice"-- Provided by publisher.
