Medical education and practice have been changed markedly by the success of biomedical research in recent decades and by the increasing role of government in medicine. The future physician will require a strong background in the basic medical sciences as well as highly developed clinical skills. He will need the capacity to reason scientifically and rigorously in relation to clinical issues as well as new technologies. He will, in addition, have to provide the traditional human support functions of the clinician and help in the formulation and implementation of public policy as it relates to health. The medical schools' curricula need to be examined regarding these and other future needs of the graduates.
近几十年来，生物医学研究的成功以及政府在医学领域日益增强的作用，已使医学教育和实践发生了显著变化。未来的医生将需要具备扎实的基础医学科学背景以及高度发达的临床技能。他需要有能力针对临床问题以及新技术进行科学且严谨的推理。此外，他还必须履行临床医生传统的人文支持职能，并协助制定和实施与健康相关的公共政策。医学院的课程需要根据毕业生的这些以及其他未来需求进行审视。
