Vice President Dick Cheney puts his troubled heart in the care of George Washington University Medical Center (check out The Colonialist's photos of Cheney waving to the crowd as he left yesterday afternoon), but the Liaison Committee on Medical Education has since put the medical school for which the hospital serves as a training ground on probation. The Post characterizes the probationary status of the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences as no laughing matter: it is the only medical school currently on probation, and only the fifth put on probation since 1994. The problems cited by the committee include areas ranging from curriculum, to administration, to facilities management. The school remains fully accredited while it works to improve to the point where its probationary status is removed.
