Development of a didactic curriculum in science related to internal medicine.
To best prepare physicians for productive careers in medicine and to instill in them a lifelong commitment to learning, a didactic curriculum for the sciences should be incorporated in training programs. Such a curriculum can be effective only if it can be woven into the fabric of clinical experiences and it is seen by the housestaff as relevant to their needs. A new level of commitment by our clinical teachers and a reassessment of the allocation of time for learning will be required.
