	Education of Medical Students
		The good news is that many medical educators are implementing curricular changes that are responsive to the latest advances in biomedical science, to the social and policy sciences relevant to medical practice, to the burden of disease, to the organization and financing of health care, and to the changing demography of the American population.
		Although in the mid-1800s some medical schools began to offer formal instruction in clinical medicine, the opening of the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore in 1893 is usually considered to be the signal event that established clinical instruction as a necessary and required component of the formal education of medical students.
		Medical educators created the hospital clerkship, the mainstay of clinical education, in the late 19th century, when Americans' life expectancy was barely 40 years and when the treatment of acute illnesses (infections, injuries, and acute manifestations of chronic diseases) dominated medical practice.
