A new world is emerging. As future medical and science professionals prepare for the service their careers will render to humanity, it is imperative that educators reach beyond simple lecture and rote study to prepare tomorrow's medical leaders. Future learning environments must be expanded using the frontiers of human need rather than the orthodoxy of committee consensus. Nurses, doctors, surgeons and scientists coming from this dynamic new world infuse professional medicine with purpose forged from experience and tempered by reality.

The organization leading this change in medical education is the Tropical Pathology and Infectious Disease AssociationTM, Inc. (TPaIDATM, Inc.).
