title: Dream busters ... clinic income.
abstract: In summary, the best clinical education occurs in a setting of exemplary patient care. The critical factor is quality--not just technical quality, but those features by which patients judge quality. Commitment to service should be enhanced and barriers should be minimized in order to achieve efficient and personalized patient care. And, schools must always reach for a higher standard, (9) exceeding their patients' expectations. As Pacific Bell Telephone says in its commercials: "Good enough isn't."
