title: American medical education. Has it created a Frankenstein?
abstract: The solutions to the problems cited and to many others regarding medical education in America are not simple ones. But it is clearly time to recognize that this system is failing to produce physicians that best meet the needs of the patient, society, and the medical field in general. It is essential for those of us involved in medical education to recognize these facts and to make major changes to help correct them. Failure to do so will only increase the severity of the problems.
