In medical schools, however, the curriculum in both the basic science and clinical apprenticeship years places the greatest emphasis on understanding the biology of disease processes and high-technology treatments. The illness experience gets less and less pedagogic attention as the student progresses from classroom to inpatient ward and clinic.
但是，在医学院，基础学科和临床实习阶段的课程最关注的都是对疾病的生物学过程和高科技治疗手段的理解。在医学院的学生从教室走向病房和临床的过程中，医学院教学对疾病体验的关注也越来越少。
