For example, society is more caught up in the fact that Lindsey Lohan is in jail then they are about solving the problems of today. Society needs to change their focus. <BR/><BR/>"Not all blondes are dumb, but many dumb people dies their hair blonde" -AnonymousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550428.post-69036454796591988052007-06-13T10:03:00.000-04:002007-06-13T10:03:00.000-04:00HELLO!

Are you comatose? <BR/><BR/>Even the American Medical Association acknowledges the bribery that secures sales rep "air time" with doctors.<BR/><BR/>JAMA has proposed that doctors should stop accepting samples, and should not serve on formulary committees if they receive $$ from drug companies. <BR/><BR/>How many professional adult learners does it take to figure out that the AMA knows its members are being bribed and has published evidence of that knowledge???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550428.post-11858956956475310782007-05-25T13:42:00.000-04:002007-05-25T13:42:00.000-04:00I think the issues is less about looks and more ab...I think the issues is less about looks and more about solving problems physicians face in clinical practice. <BR/><BR/>Instruction/learning/knowledge for physicians—as professionals—differs from that for other adults because professions differ from other occupations. First, professionals address more complex problems for their clients than do practitioners of other occupations. Second, the knowledge and skills professionals use in addressing the problems are: Esoteric; require prolonged, supervised training; and can be harmful if used incorrectly. Third and finally, professionals must develop cognitive skills and ethical reasoning abilities not required of other occupations and use those esoteric skills and knowledge in handling complex problems. These differences suggest that the principles of adult learning must be qualified to teach physicians. <BR/><BR/>Therefore if you are not helping physicians solve problems they have you do not have their attention. Pizza solves a problem but it isn't clinical and patient oriented. Jessica Simpson solves a problem and that is not clinical. It is time priciples of how adults learn and how physicians learn are applied. <BR/><BR/>edu@bioc.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
