In October 2008—a time when existing medical schools were increasing their class sizes for the first time in 30 years and several new medical schools were being planned or launched—the Macy Foundation convened a conference to consider issues related to the mission of U.S. medical schools. In the conference recommendations report, the conferees advised that it was an ideal time for all medical schools to reassess their educational programs to ensure that they are meeting the health needs of society.
