In Questioning the Premedical Paradigm, Donald Barr, associate professor of medicine and sociology at Stanford University, explains why the standard premedical curriculum is so heavily weighted toward the basic sciences; investigates whether or not this has, in fact, achieved what was intended; examines some of the unintended consequences resulting from its adoption; and cogently presents what he feels the goals of premedical education ought to be and how they can be reached.
