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..

"For decades, the way bad news was broken was, as one official British report put it, "deeply insensitive". Now we do it better, thanks to the efforts of one American widow. Sally Williams talks to her, and to policemen and doctors at the sharp end .."
