Psychologists in Medical Schools

Comments on the article by S. Williams and J. L. Kohout (see record 1999-10642-004) which presented data from a large survey of psychologists employed by medical schools and concluded that there is a growing marginalization of the psychologists' role in medical schools. The authors note that it is unfortunate that Williams and Kohout based their conclusions on limited evidence from their own survey and disregarded preexisting literature. The authors discuss methodological similarities and differences between their own survey conducted in 1994 and the survey of Williams and Kohout that have direct bearing on the interpretation of the results.
