For the past 3 years, since acquiring formal training in healthcare ethics and philosophy, I have been one of those physicians who “does” ethics. I teach medical students and residents, write articles, speak at conferences, chair an ethics committee, and informally consult with colleagues on cases where they request advice related to ethical issues in the care of patients. These activities have been a rewarding and challenging part of my practice. There has also been a fair amount of frustration. Unfortunately, both in teaching and patient care, it has been a frequent experience to finish a discussion with physicians only to be told that what I said was nice but had no bearing in the real world. In the words of a medical resident: 'You know, this ethics stuff is really a lot of crap, isn't it?'

Though hundreds of journal pages have been packed with studies describing, analyzing, and synthesizing benefits of PBL over conventional curricula we still don’t really know why because there are so many differences between them that it is impossible to say which of the various elements contributes to any incremental student learning. We need to apply the scientific method to studies of curriculum delivery. Accumulating evidence from strong studies in messy real-world situations will eventually yield important insights and instrumental truths for real medical schools and real medical students that teachers and administrators can then implement. Examples of feasible experimental designs are described including a factorial study. More effective curriculum development is only possible through a renewed applied research agenda that is both focused and grounded in the real world.

Abstract A traditional medical school curriculum does not formally prepare physicians to participate in evaluation of safety and effectiveness after medications enter the market. This article provides examples where ultrasound has unrealized potential as a noninvasive tool for longitudinal assessment of drug safety and effectiveness in the real-world. The examples are intended to sensitize medical schools and medical students to opportunities for physicians to advance therapeutic evaluation of drugs as they are used for approved and unapproved indications in actual practice.

This article presents some streamlined and intentionally oversimplified ideas about educating future communication disorders professionals to use some of the most basic principles of evidence-based practice. Working from a popular five-step approach, modifications are suggested that may make the ideas more accessible, and therefore more useful, for university faculty, other supervisors, and future professionals in speech-language pathology, audiology, and related fields.
