  • Abstract
    The physician of tomorrow will almost certainly have to be a more sophisticated physicist than his predecessors of today or of yesterday. The physician is, perhaps unconsciously and perhaps reluctantly, a physicist to a very significant degree. Students anticipating a career in medicine need to be told and sold this idea since it affects their interest in physics courses during premedical training.
