Hi I take Beth's point about not dwelling on the MDCM, but the MDCM degree IS the MD degree. I think one thing causing some confusion is that in Canada the MD is considered an undergraduate degree. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_degree With respect to the critical thinkiing issue, then, the piece cannot be minimized because the author is not a "real" doctor. Take care Jim James M.
