Changes in medical education and the practice of medicine have resulted from the push for both education and health care reforms. Undergraduates planning application to medical school should broaden their preparation to include communications, computers, economics, and multicultural educational experiences. To prepare graduates for medical practice in the new millennium, the University of Kentucky College of Medicine has implemented a new curriculum focusing on integration of basic and clinical sciences, primary care in ambulatory sites, health promotion and disease prevention, and attention to the ethical, social, psychologic, and financial impact of disease upon the patient, family, and society.
医学教育和医疗实践的变革源于教育改革和医疗保健改革的推动。计划申请医学院的本科生应拓宽准备范围，将沟通、计算机、经济学和多元文化教育经历纳入其中。为使毕业生能在新千年从事医疗实践，肯塔基大学医学院实施了一项新课程，重点关注基础科学与临床科学的整合、门诊场所的初级保健、健康促进和疾病预防，以及关注疾病对患者、家庭和社会的伦理、社会、心理和经济影响。
