Wilson (U. of N. Carolina School of Medicine) has authored or coauthored 165-plus journal articles, five books, a play, and a collection of essays on the relationship between medicine and the humanities and has taught some 6,000 students and overseen the education of some 100 residents. In an era when workforce shortages, financial constraints, new knowledge and technologies, and dramatically changing demographic patterns in society pose challenges to graduate medical education (GME), he offers a timely reflection on key issues in GME and suggestions for their resolution. Coverage includes the history of GME, credentialing, teaching and learning, performance assessment, work hours and supervision of residents, professionalism, research training, technological innovation, mentoring, funding, the supply and distribution of physicians, and residents' responsibilities.
