The purpose of this electronic publication is to present scholarly activities, opinions, and resources in medical science education.

New knowledge is rapidly altering the basic sciences that are fundamental to the practice of medicine. To address this concern, the Association of American Medical Colleges and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute convened a group of scientists, physicians, and science educators to identify the essential scientific background physicians in the 21st century will need. The resulting report, Scientific Foundations for Future Physicians, lays out a series of scientific competencies that students must master prior to attending medical school and medical students must understand upon completion of their M.D..

"In conclusion, a relatively small percentage of students use multimedia (audio and video) that are provided as a duplication of lectures in the basic sciences. The distribution of frequency of access of both video and audio files was consistent across the various courses offered in the first two years of medical school. There were significant correlations in the frequencies with which individual students viewed videos of lectures from course-to-course. Finally, there was a trend for an inverse association between the frequencies with which students viewed lectures and the grades they received in the course. This is an important observation that requires further investigation since it may be indicative of a maladaptive learning strategy for some students. It also does not exclude the possibility that additional computer-aided resources may be detrimental to some students. "
