• How do we adjust our Phase 1 curriculum to account for the change in Step 1 from a test of knowledge of information to problem solving?
• What national changes necessitate curricular changes? How do we make sure that public health/preventive medicine stay in the curriculum? What can come out?

• How do we right-size our graduate residency medical education programs? What principles and realities should drive decisions to grow or shrink programs?
