States must act to reform medical education
Abstract
U.S. medical education has remained largely unchanged for the past 40 years despite dissatisfaction with the training physicians receive. Efforts to reform medical education should focus on state medical boards, which control physician licensing, rather than on the faculties of medical schools and hospital residencies.
