Pivotal to Asia's future will be the robustness of its medical universities. Lessons learned in the past and the challenges facing these schools in the future are outlined in this collection, which offers valuable insights for other medical education systems as well. The populations in these rapidly growing countries rely on healthcare systems that can vigorously respond to the concerns of shifting demographics, disease, and epidemics. The collected works focus on the education of physicians and health professionals, policy debates, cooperative efforts, and medical education reform movements.

Lincoln C. Chen is President of the China Medical Board and Chair of the Board of BRAC USA. Michael R. Reich is Taro Takemi Professor of International Health Policy at the Harvard School of Public Health. Jennifer Ryan is a Program Manager at the China Medical Board.
