Writing Courses in American Medical Schools.

Bjork, Robert E.; Oye, Robert K.

Journal of Medical Education, v58 n2 p112-16 Feb 1983

A survey of U.S. medical schools to determine the extent and nature of instruction in medical writing is discussed. Of the 101 schools responding, only 15 offered writing courses. Those not offering courses indicated a need but claimed lack of time, interest of those needing instruction, and qualified faculty members. (Author/MSE)
