I would be concerned if they remain ignorant of the importance of animal
research in medicine, if they cannot read or understand research findings any
better than their patients, and if they become vulnerable to extremist animal
rights groups and their violence-prone ideologies. I would wonder also if they
are more likely to espouse alternative/quack treatments as they proceed in
their medical education? I would have similar concerns about students
interested in clinical psych/social work who may not be able to understand the
importance of evidence-based treatments, risk assessment, and gathering
reliable information upon which to base their diagnoses.

Subject: [tips] I have no interest in research
I currently have two advisees/students who are pre-med majors. One of
them has advised me that he has no interest in medical research. The other has
been going out of his way to avoid taking courses from faculty who have
involvement in any research involving nonhuman animals. Should I be concerned
that persons like this could be my medical providers in the future?
Cheers,
Karl W.

Following an item on this in the Chronicle of Higher Education
(6/3/2009), I was led to the following sites:
http://sites.google.com/site/whatplagiarismlookslike/Home
(great graphic, BTW)
and
http://mleddy.blogspot.com/2009/06/what-plagiarism-looks-like.html
"Flabbergasted" comes to mind. Good thing that the University of Alabama,
plus some smart lawyers looked into this, and found the accusation not
worth pursuing.
