Publisher's Synopsis
The curriculum taught in many US medical schools has altered little since 1910. Now, spurred in part by changes in health care delivery, schools are re-evaluating. This text provides a description of the process and outcome of developing a new curriculum at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The book is organized around the subjects and courses taught: basic sciences; physician and society; medical informatics; clinical medicine; and evaluation. The contributors are Johns Hopkins faculty members who participated in developing the components of the curriculum they discuss. Throughout, the material is presented in a way that permits easy generalization and adaptation to other medical schools.
