Praise for Educating Physicians "Educating Physicians provides a masterful analysis ofundergraduate and graduate medical education in the United Statestoday. It represents a major educational document, based firmly oneducational psychology, learning theory, empirical studies, andcareful personal observations of many individual programs. It alsorecognizes the importance of financing, regulation, andinstitutional culture on the learning environment, which suffusesits recommendations for reform with cogency and power. Mostimportant, like Abraham Flexner's classic study a century ago, thereport recognizes that medical education and practice, at theircore, are profoundly moral enterprises. This is a landmark volumethat merits attention from anyone even peripherally involved withmedical education." --Kenneth M. Ludmerer, author, Time toHeal: American Medical Education from the Turn of the Century tothe Era of Managed Care "This is a very important book that comes at a critical time inour nation's history.
