Abstract:
The faculty of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, have substituted definitions of knowledge and skills for course requirements as requirements for admission. The school expects that this action will allow students more flexibility in the development of their undergraduate academic programs, while guiding them specifically to the necessary preparation in the sciences. It is further hoped that this action will encourage the faculties of undergraduate schools to examine the way in which they prepare students for careers in medicine. This article describes the approach used for bringing about this change in policy and presents the new admissions requirements.
