This in-depth examination of how to educate professionals for the future identifies the social and political forces that will affect the roles of professionals and change the definitions of professional skill. It shows how educating professionals for the twenty-first century will ultimately require stronger bonds between educational systems and our systems of practice--including more accurate measures of competence and a more integrated system of continuing professional education.
