Medical students must keep learning long after they get their degrees. .The University of Utah School of Medicine Operating Committee is proposing to reform the school's curriculum. Their goal is to better prepare students for learning outside of the class room. Included in the proposed changes, class time would be reduced by 25 percent to allow more time for independent learning. Students could also be required to take courses in interpersonal communication, ethics and arts, if the proposed reforms are adopted. These changes could get students to be more interactive with their teachers and other students, according to a news release issued by the U.'s public affairs department. The changes could also make students think more analytically, be more critical and become better decision makers, accord. ing to the release.
