Praise for Educating Physicians
"Educating Physicians provides a masterful analysis ofundergraduate and graduate medical education in the United Statestoday. It represents a major educational document, based firmly oneducational psychology, learning theory, empirical studies, andcareful personal observations of many individual programs. It alsorecognizes the importance of financing, regulation, andinstitutional culture on the learning environment, which suffusesits recommendations for reform with cogency and power. Mostimportant, like Abraham Flexner's classic study a century ago, thereport recognizes that medical education and practice, at theircore, are profoundly moral enterprises. This is a landmark volumethat merits attention from anyone even peripherally involved withmedical education." --Kenneth M. Ludmerer, author, Time toHeal: American Medical Education from the Turn of the Century tothe Era of Managed Care
"This is a very important book that comes at a critical time inour nation's history. We will not have enduring health care reformin this country unless we rethink our medical education paradigms.This book is a call to arms for doing just that." --George E.Thibault, president, Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation
"The authors provide us with the evidence-based model forphysician education with associated changes in infrastructure,policy, and our roles as educators. Whether you agree or not withtheir conclusions, if you are a teacher this book is a must-read asit will frame both what and how we discuss medical educationthroughout the current century." --Deborah Simpson, associatedean for educational support and evaluation, Medical College ofWisconsin
"A provocative book that provides us with a creative vision formedical education. Using in-depth case studies of innovativeeducational practices illustrating what is actually possible, theauthors provide sage advice for transforming medical education onthe basis of learning theories and educational research."--Judith L. Bowen, professor of medicine, Oregon Health &Science University
