D. Mou, A. Sarma, R. Sethi et al., "The State of Health Policy Education in U.S. Medical Schools," New England Journal of Medicine, March 10, 2011 364:e19.
During their first year of medical school, the authors completed a comprehensive, mandatory course on health policy. However, they learned theirs was not a common experience. To learn more about the current state of health policy education, the authors—with support from The Commonwealth Fund—surveyed U.S. medical school deans.
Based on their experience, the authors recommend case-based, small-group discussions as a complement to lectures to promote dialogue among students. "Health policy literacy," they conclude, "should no longer be considered an ancillary skill, but rather a core competency of a 21st-century physician."
