Medical School Programs
To improve the quality of medical education, medical schools continually
perform intensive reviews of their educational programs and instructional
methods. This has resulted in an interdisciplinary approach to presenting
individual course content and an increased emphasis on the functional applications
of structure. Innovations include opportunties for independent study and elective
coursework and the establishment of separate learning tracks of varying durations
at individual schools.
