Believing that the primary purpose of professional education is to
prepare practitioners, the authors consider variables that affect
professional practice. Emphasis is the key role and techniques of
experiential education for effective transfer of learnig to
practice in medicine, law, social work, and management. Other
variables that impact cost and quality of services include cost and
length of professional education; specialization, selection, and
promotion of faculty; role of research; use of paraprofessionals;
and assessment of professional education. Conclusions go beyond
education, for the four professions discussed in detail, to
challenge current objectives and practices in all professional
education. The major conclusion is that professional learning for
practice needs to be improved and points to the importance of
utilizing and developing experiential education as the key learning
approach. Other counterproductive effects of current professional
education practices identified are: a tendency to consider isolated
problems and ignore clients' needs, inadequate continuing graduate
professional education, oversupply of professionals in many areas,
failure of many professionals to keep up with changing theory and
practice, and overly expensive and poor research as the result of
using the same institutions for both. Corrective action is
suggested in each case.
