The highlights of this commentary may be recapitulated as follows: First, an attempt has been made to emphasize the merits of having medical education as a continuous process after high school under the complete control of medical schools, i.e., incorporating pre-medical into medical education. Second, to restructure the departments of medical schools on the basis of human organs rather than disciplines as they presently exist. Third, to expand the Department of Family Medicine and have it as the principle department in the medical school with other departments serving as satellites. This commentary is quite ambitious, costly, and impractical if realized all at once, especially at existing schools. It might be easier and more practical for a new medical school, in this country or abroad, to adopt it in full or in part and/or in stages.
