A New Breed of Doctors

A few months ago we posted an article about changes that are coming to the MCAT, the test required to get into medical school. Last Sunday's New York Times had another good article on the coming changes that will affect students who will be entering college this fall.  Students will be required to learn more about behavorial science, ethics, and emotion as well as how people process emotion and stress.  Will it make getting into med school harder? Perhaps.  Will it make for better doctors in the future. Hopefully.
