He is the author of Introduction to U.S. Health Policy , second edition, and Health Disparities in the United States , both also published by Johns Hopkins. Klappentext As this provocative and timely volume documents, the science and math prerequisites for medical school admission triggered by Flexner's report have long since outlived their salience. What's worse, they are serving to dissuade countless students with precisely the backgrounds, temperament, and commitment we seek in our physicians from pursuing their dream. --Jordan J. Cohen, M.D. Zusammenfassung This historical and cultural analysis of premedical education in the United States is the crucial first step in questioning the appropriateness of continuing a hundred-year-old! empirically dubious pedagogical model for the twenty-first century.
