Cultural Literacy of Fourth-Year Medical Students.

King, Charles R.

Journal of Medical Education, v63 n12 p919-21 Dec 1988

A survey of fourth-year students in obstetrics at one medical school confirmed the absence of a liberal undergraduate education and indicated their failure to acquire cultural knowledge during their premedical and medical education. Knowledge deficits extended beyond the humanities to nonmedical sciences and the history and philosophy of medicine. (MSE)
