Atkins, Charles G.

Journal of Medical Education, v58 n11 p899-901 Nov 1983

A trend in medical curriculum design toward courses organized around organ systems is described and analyzed through national survey data. The courses are also characterized by a multidisciplinary emphasis, larger credit and contact hours, and the goal of interrelating many concepts of the system for an understanding of the system as a whole.
