At the Third Annual Meeting of the Basic Science Education Forum held on October 23, 1990 in San Francisco, four issues were defined that we are addressing in various ways. Each of our regional Directors has volunteered to coordinate efforts for one topic. If you have interests and opinions and/or wish to work with others toward the resolution of one or more of the following, please contact the designated individual. Our long-term goal is to create workable solutions to these problems.
