What medical school teachers teach and what medical students learn will play some significant part in the student's career of being a physician, attending to and caring for patients. There is, of course,much more information and misinformation regarding the details of practice and professional behavior as the students progress in the later clinical years of medical school and into the later years. Much of how to teach is still open to discussion amongst the teachers with feedback from their students.

I look at this Community as a place for medical school teachers to come together to discuss unsettled issues in teaching or techniques felt to be worthy of enlightening other teachers. Students both active and as physicians can have their say. Patients should be able to suggest what needs to be preserved or changed in the education in medical school.
