摘要：

Factors influencing the premedical requirement in physics are examined. A review is given of the various reasons why physics is important in medical education. The new Medical College Admissions Test is discussed. In looking at the rapid advances in technology in medicine, it is argued that the medical student is presently disadvantaged in physics, simply not having taken enough physics as an undergraduate. It is urged that an additional (applied) course, requiring introductory physics and calculus as prerequisites, be included among medical school entrance requirements. © 1979, American Association of Physics Teachers.
