Defining The Role Of The Physician: Medical Education, Tradition, And The Legal Process, Robert L. Schwartz Jan 1980

Defining The Role Of The Physician: Medical Education, Tradition, And The Legal Process, Robert L. Schwartz

Faculty Scholarship

The professional conflict and animosity that have developed between the legal and medical professions are symptomatic of something that is basic and disturbing to the traditional science and practice of medicine. Even a cursory review of the literature will reveal that physicians, lawyers, philosophers, and others (with greater or lesser degrees of insight and awareness) are currently engaged in serious reevaluations of such concepts as the definition of medicine as science and/or art, the structure and administration of effective medical curricula, and the goals of the medical profession itself.
