- Title
Report: Growth of Medical Schools Brings Opportunity to Redefine Their Mission.
- Authors
Mitka, Mike
- Abstract
The article focuses on a report on medical schools in the United States that was released in 2009 by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation and contained conclusions and recommendations made by a panel of medical and institutional leaders. The report indicates that medical schools in the U.S. are not doing enough to find the right students to train for careers in medicine and are not adequately addressing the needs of a diversifying patient population. The report also suggests that an expansion of medical school slots which is being seen in the U.S. in 2009 provides an opportune time to address issues covered in the report.
