Reviews / Votes
'An important book about this most formative time in a physician's life, the history of graduate medical education, the key issues that consume present interests of medical educators, and the options that the profession and society have for going forward. It is timely. Workforce shortages, financial constraints, new knowledge and technologies, and dramatically changing demographic patterns in society pose challenges. Changes are needed; will wisdom or reflex reactions inform the changes?' From the Foreword by David C. Leach, M.D. 'This book should be required reading for anyone associated with graduate medical education - 5 Stars!' Doody Book ReviewsMore details
