TY - JOUR T1 - The empiricists strike back: Medical education 2012 AU - Golub RM Y1 - 2012/12/05 N1 - 10.1001/jama.2012.74128 JO - JAMA SP - 2254 EP - 2256 VL - 308 IS - 21 N2 - The direct messages of the studies relate to 3 themes: the quality of the educational experience, improving the content of education, and evaluating current and future physicians. The studies by Lucas and colleagues1 and Volpp and colleagues2 address the quality of inpatient education from the attending and resident perspective, respectively. Although each focuses on a different place along the medical practice continuum, both represent a search for solutions to major changes that have taken place in inpatient training experience due to factors that include duty hour restrictions, quality improvement efforts, and the increased prevalence of hospitalists.3 SN - 0098-7484 M3 - doi: 10.1001/jama.2012.74128 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.2012.74128 ER -
