Ludmerer to write book sequel on medical education Kenneth M. Ludmerer, M.D., associate professor of medicine at the School of Medicine, has received a grant to continue his study of medical educa- tion in the United States. The three-year grant, totaling $225,000, is from the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation and will enable Ludmerer to research and write a sequel to his book, "Learning to Heal: the Develop- ment of American Medical Education." That book, published in 1985 by Basic Books, a division of Harper & Row, covered the history of medical educa- tion in the U.S. from the mid-19th century to 1925. In the sequel, Ludmerer will trace the development of medical education from 1925 to the present, focusing on such topics as the financing of medical education; the special problems of minority medical education; the relationship between teaching and research; and the erosion of medical education's traditional patient base. He hopes to examine not only how our system of medical education has evolved, but also how the mission of American schools and teaching Match Day 1989s Fourth-year medical students Mark Drazner (left) and Glen Reznikoff are jubilant with the news of their residency appointments.
