Innovation at Med Schools

[Spirit of the Student Doc]

The WSJ had an article on med schools yesterday morning:

Innovation Is Sweeping Through U.S. Medical Schools
Preparing doctors—and in greater numbers—for new technologies and methods

Worth a read

So which program is most consistent with the sociological paradigm of symbolic interactionism?

Mayo Clinic is pass/fail...and from what I hear they are a reputable institution.

Yeah........ can't wait to take the MCAT.

Although, I was told here in our "Opportunites" class that undergrad is not to get you a job but to show your ability to learn. Then you go to a school that teaches you job skills.

And we wonder why fall behind, especially considering the generation holding many of these jobs ,that require a pointless degree,... don't have one and were trained off the street (not a med school jab but I'm not sure what >50% of the students here, or any undergrad, are taking away from this other than debt and a damaged liver.)

You beat me to the post @Spirit of the Student Doc ! Just curious as the next application cycle starts gearing up what are some of the more interesting, unique, or innovative approaches to med school curriculums by school aside from those listed? also, for those students ast those schools, do you like the different programs

for those of us that took the 2014 mcat and will retake the 2015 new test good luck - brush up on those social/psych sciences, more learning to do

both MD and DO school innovations welcome
