Is It Time to Reform Medical School Education?

Amin Azzam, M.D., M.A., Department of Psychiatry, UCSF

Azzam has had experience in the education of both medical students and early career physicians. He will present an overview of the existing structures in medical school and the emerging models for shaping the next generation of medical students.
