  2. Challenge #1--Focusing on Outcomes “Society reaps at this moment but a small fraction of the advantage which current knowledge has the power to confer.” Abraham Flexner (1910) [Bulletin No. 4, Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching]

  3. Challenge #2--Fostering Collaboration “Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.” Mark Twain

  4. Challenge #3-Building Capacity First Doctor: “I’ve forgotten all my science: what’s the use of my pretending I haven’t? But I have great experience: clinical experience; and bedside experience is the main thing, isn't it?” Second Doctor: “Mere experience by itself is nothing. If I take my dog to the bedside with me, he sees what I see. But he learns nothing from it. Why? Because he's not a scientific dog.”
