Young doctors learn quickly in the hot seat
The New York Times
March 14,
2006 -- Does grilling medical students with questions make them into better doctors? For years, many professors routinely peppered students with relevant and arcane queries, often embarrassing them. Things may be gentler today, but the practice, referred to as the ''pimping'' of students, still has its advocates. ''Such questioning has always been used in medical education,'' said Dr. Kenneth M.

Harvard program stresses patient care

Sept. 27,
2004 -- Eight third-year Harvard students are part of an experimental program that hopes to address the shortcomings of traditional medical training by casting aside the traditional hospital rotation system. Rather than moving from specialty to specialty every few weeks for intensive blocks of training, they are following individual patients, wherever their conditions take them in the health care system. The hope is that these relationships will both help the students become more empathetic physicians, and make the science they are supposed to be learning stick in their minds. School of Medicine medical historian Kenneth Ludmerer comments.
