Guest guest Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Jason: Public perception of the profession may (or may not) change but otherwise I completely agree with you. Imagine an MD graduating without ever doing rounds or an internship or a residency. Real learning is least likely to occur in a classrooom setting alone. IMO other than the letters after one's name, a waste of time and money. Warren [ " Yes.. this is an issue... My point is something like this... IF we support a doctorate prg. w/o these tcm hospitals/ or 'real' clinical' experience, what is it going to do for our profession? If we think that a doctorate prg. w/o these are going to elevate our status, I wonder how? Personally I find it quite ridiculous. Why would I ever sign up for such a prg? for better clinical results? What would I get out of it? Furthermore, on the other side of the coin, what is the use a doctorate prg without some sort of serious research capabilities, if a research track is envisioned... Do any of the schools have a worthwhile proposal on how this is going to be done? I personally see this issue somewhat black & white. Without a major clinical experience or research capabilities then the prg should not exist. " ] - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
