"Kenneth M. Ludmerer describes the evolution of American medical education from 1910 - when a muck-raking report on medical diploma mills spurred the reform and expansion of medical schools - to the current era of managed care, when commercial interests once more have come to the fore, compromising the training of the nation's future doctors.
