The leading causes of preventable death and disease in the United States are smoking, sedentary lifestyle, along with poor dietary habits, and alcohol consumption. To make measurable improvements in the health of Americans, physicians must be equipped with the knowledge and skills from the behavioral and social sciences needed to recognize, understand, and effectively respond to patients as individuals, not just to their symptoms. What are medical schools teaching students about the behavioral and social sciences? In the report, the committee concluded that there is inadequate information available to sufficiently describe behavioral and social science curriculum content, teaching techniques, and assessment methodologies in U.S. medical schools and recommends development of a new national behavioral and social science database. The committee also recommended that the National Board of Medical Examiners ensure that the U.S. Medical Licensing Examination adequately cover the behavioral and social science subject matter recommended in this report. 606 $aMedical education 606 $aMedicine$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aMedical education. 615 0$aMedicine$xStudy and teaching. 676 $a610/.71/173 701 $aCuff$b Patricia A$01083097 701 $aVanselow$b Neal A$g(Neal Arthur)$01803603 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bCommittee on Behavioral and Social Sciences in Medical School Curricula. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954071303321 996 $aImproving medical education$94351227 997 $aUNINA
