"Barbara Barzansky, Ph.D., and Sylvia I. Etzel, of the American
Medical Association, Chicago, examined the status of a number of
variables related to medical education that represent areas that
recently have been in flux or have potential impact on health care
delivery. The study compared selected results of the Liaison Committee
on Medical Education (LCME) Annual Medical School Questionnaire
between 2004-2005 and 1994-1995. The questionnaire was sent to the
deans of all 125 LCME-accredited medical schools. The response rate
was 100 percent in both years.
The authors found that the number of medical students in 1994-1995 and
in 2004-2005 remained constant, at about 67,000."
