- Summary:
-
A survey of student opinions on issues in medical education reveals several areas of consensus on needed changes. The following recommendations are suggested as a result of the survey: (1) Health care delivery should employ a multidisciplinary team of health professionals working to maintain health and prevent disease in communities. (2) Medical schools should emphasize the training of physicians as generalists, equipped to preserve the physical, emotional, and social health of patients and their families. (3) Decisionmaking in medical education and community health should be democratized so as to allow participation by representatives of those most intimately involved with these areas, i.e., medical students and consumers. (4) The environment of medical education should be altered to provide for improved teaching, increased flexibility in curricula, elimination of grades and de-emphasis of competition, and increased recognition of student needs for personal growth and interaction. (5) Medical school admissions criteria should deemphasize previous academic achievement beyond a minimal essential level and substituted criteria based upon personal characteristics, such as motivation and social consciousness. (6) Students should be allowed academic credit for participation in extramural educational programs. (Author)
