| Abstract | Basic science courses offered to freshmen medical students have been traditionally taught by didactic presentations and laboratory work. Various factors have prompted many departments to either markedly reduce the time allotted for the traditional, but more vulnerable, laboratory phase of these courses or drastically alter the content of the laboratory programs. Information concerning the desirability for such changes is incomplete and no evaluation has been developed to determine the effectiveness of change. Before beginning any further alterations in the laboratory programs at the Medical College of Virginia, it seemed desirable to determine anew what we wish to teach in the laboratory. This problem was approached in part by surveying the attitudes of other anatomy, biochemistry, and physiology departments. Questionnaires were sent to the chairmen of anatomy, biochemistry, and physiology departments in 116 medical schools. These schools included 102 US medical schools, 12 Canadian medical schools, and 2 American type medical schools in foreign countries. The US schools included some new medical schools which have opened only recently or which are scheduled to begin classes in Medicine within the next few years. Seventy-one anatomy departments, 70 biochemistry departments, and 72 physiology departments responded by returning completed or at least partially completed questionnaires.
