The accelerating pace of change in medicine stems from an explosion of scientific information and the need to blend this information into the art and practice of medicine. The role of science in medicine is clear. Science-based technology and deductive reasoning form the foundation for the solution to many clinical problems. Spectacular advances in genetics, biochemistry, and imaging techniques allow access to the innermost parts of the cell and the most remote recesses of the body. Revelations about the nature of genes and single cells have opened the portal for formulating a new molecular basis for the physiology of systems. These physiologic insights will undoubtedly result in a better understanding of complex disease processes and new approaches to disease treatment and prevention. Highly advanced therapeutic maneuvers are increasingly a major part of medical practice. Yet skill in the most sophisticated application of laboratory technology and in the use of the latest therapeutic modality alone does not make a good physician.
