Questioning the Premedical Paradigm
"One hundred years ago, Abraham Flexners report on Medical Education in the United States and Canada helped establish the modern paradigm of premedical and medical education. Barr's research finds the system of premedical education that evolved to be a poor predictor of subsequent clinical competency and professional excellence, while simultaneously discouraging many students from under represented minority groups or economically disadvantaged backgrounds from pursuing a career as a physician. Analyzing more than fiftyyears of research, Barr shows that many of the best prospects are not being admitted to medical schools. with long-term adverse consequences for the U.S. medical profession." --Book Jacket.

Exemplary Science for Resolving Societal Challenges
Amid a flurry of national standards and high-stakes assessments, it's easy to overlook the curiosity and invention that is inherent to science and that should be central to any science lesson plan.

This title focuses on how to successfully draw on these problems to illustrate the use and understanding of science for all learners."
