 Speech: Dedication of the New Research Building, Harvard Medical School
One of the many surprises I’ve had as I traveled around the University was a meeting I had with some of Dean Joe Martin’s medical students some time ago, in which I learned that nearly half of them, at some point during their four-year medical training, spent time in a less-developed country.
At Harvard College we are now engaged in a review of the undergraduate curriculum, which has thinking about how we can teach science more effectively, both to scientists and to non-scientists, as a central focus.
With Joe’s leadership, we are thinking at the Medical School about both the case method as we apply it for medical students in their first and second years, and the very difficult challenges associated with assuring effective clinical instruction in an increasingly competitive and market-oriented clinical environment.
