Abstract
We should be preparing future physicians to deliver the care we want to receive as patients. This requires training in communication, collaboration, inquiry, discovery, and innovation while developing the habits of the mind and heart that advance the practice of medicine and the health of the public. However, the current “corporatization” of medical education is failing to accomplish this outcome. Specifically, medical schools are adopting corporate models, cutting costs, and seeking profit-making opportunities without improving what goes on in the classroom. Our hope is that we will reconnect to the greater purpose and value of learning.
