Medical Education for the 21st Century.

Smith, Lloyd H., Jr.

Journal of Medical Education, v60 n2 p106-12 Feb 1985

Two concepts of medicine which must fuse in each physician are "medicine as a science" and "medicine as an art." Four principles in medical education are discussed: "a good education should leave much to be desired," scholarship, freeing students from excess facts, and medicine as a humane and caring profession.
