Potential Conflicts of Interest: None disclosed.
TO THE EDITOR:
We applaud Mullan and colleagues for their innovative study (1), which provides a stark contrast to the dominant U.S. News & World Report rankings. As medical trainees, we hope that the medical community will not only embrace the concept of social mission, but actively engage in development of more robust measures. Mullan and colleagues' study represents great progress toward improving the quality of medical education in the United States and toward holding medical schools accountable for producing a cohort of physicians capable of addressing the multifaceted needs of our nation's health.
