Threats to the Education Mission
“Both research and patient care bring to their respective departments resources and prestige…education is typically seen as secondary to research and patient care.”
“Many good educators simply are unable to spend time away from research or patient care to teach…This structural problem requires a structural remedy.”
Irby SM et al. Acad Med 2004;79:729.
