title: New rounds for med students. Revised admissions test, changing focus for essential skills will bring a fresh look to the next generation of physicians.
abstract: Reforms of the medical education system aim to strengthen the skills of the next generation of doctors and train them to provide effective patient care while working well with other caregivers. The restructuring of residency program accreditation removes small details "that some might say micromanage a program" while maintaining core education elements, says Dr. Thomas Nasca, left, of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.
