Training of health care professionals must change, says Pew Commission director.

The Pew Health Professions Commission began its work to reform health professional education in a bold way last fall, issuing its recommendations up front in a push for immediate changes in the way health professionals are educated. And what needs changing? "I think that we in health care have to ask whether we've become seduced by specialization," says Edward H. O'Neil, the commission's executive director and assistant dean for medical education at Duke University.
