The quantitative education of graduate students in the health sciences is an important area of consideration in a modern internet based world.
Physics graduates share their strengths in quantitative science and biology graduates share their knowledge of biology as they tackle biological problems exemplified by the papers in a quantitative, informational and computational manner.
There have been studies examining the impact of curriculum reform on the first year post graduation [ 4- 11] and various quantitative studies have asked graduates retrospectively to evaluate their undergraduate education, [ 12- 16] but there have been few qualitative studies asking graduates in retrospect to evaluate their undergraduate medical education.
