Two abiding tensions exist in the making of a physician. The first is between the humanistic and scientific sides of medicine, and the second is between defining the sociological foundation of medical practice and understanding the promise and limits of that foundation. A basic introduction to the sociology of the medical profession (applicable to the MCAT) will be offered in conjunction with a focus on physicians' self-reporting on the nature of their vocation.
