Reviews

As this provocative and timely volume documents, the science and math prerequisites for medical school admission triggered by Flexner's report have long since outlived their salience. What's worse, they are serving to dissuade countless students with precisely the backgrounds, temperament, and commitment we seek in our physicians from pursuing their dream. - Jordan J. Cohen, M.D., George Washington University and President Emeritus, Association of American Medical Colleges
