摘要:

This annual study contains descriptive statistics on applicants to the 1976--77 freshman classes of U.S. medical schools. In contrast to the growth rates of the early 1970s, the total number of applicants declined slightly for the second successive year. However, comparisons with past applicant pools show a continued increase in the annual number of women applying and a modest increment over the previous year in applicants from minority groups. For the first time in the annual series the 1976--77 study includes data on applicants' size of hometown and summarizes information collected on marital status, country of citizenship, and undergraduate degree level.

摘要:

It is increasingly apparent that there exists a need for academic administrators and an interest in that field on the part of physicians and medical students. In many academic medical centers physicians are called upon to assume administrative responsibilities or have a desire to pursue an administrative career. Medical students also play an important role in their university's governance through their representation on medical school and university committees as well as their participation in various national organizations. In addition, there continues to be a general lack of understanding regarding the nature of the internal and external variables affecting medical education. The course described in this paper is intended to provide students with an understanding of the administrative responsibilities inherent in academic management positions.

摘要:

As a student health psychiatrist in a medical school setting, the author has had experience in treating women students who present with various psychiatric complaints, ranging from mild depression and anxiety to psychosis. The concept of role strain will be illustrated as it occurs in the context of the presenting complaint and the subsequent treatment course. Issues of feminine sexuality and sex-role adjustment in single and married students will be discussed. Medical schools can increase their awareness of how sex bias and institutional sexism affect the mental health and well-being of women students and can take appropriate steps to lessen the detrimental effects for women in medical school.

摘要:

A pilot support group for interns was established at Boston City Hospital early in the internship year to deal with the personal and professional issues arising out of the stresses of the internship. This report describes the functioning of this group, including a statement of goals, content of weekly meetings, and evaluation by group members. In general, the interns felt that the experience was positive and especially valuable in terms of providing support for personal/professional role conflict.

摘要:

In the past three years an elective clinical practicum in sex education has been added to the existing human sexuality program at the Howard University College of Medicine. Staff from the Washington, D.C., Department of Human Resources and Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington have trained 84 third- and fourth-year medical students in sex education techniques and supervised their work with 2,100 public school children, mostly fifth- and sixth-grade pupils. Results indicate several advantages to the program: the public schools receive a needed service; the health agencies and the medical school are able to expand their work in the community; the public school students find ready models for identification while learning about sexual issues; and the medical students move from the role of passive learner to that of active teacher.

摘要:

A study was undertaken to determine at what time American-trained pulmonary disease specialists in two California counties made their subspecialty choices and the factors which influenced their decision. Responses to 281 questionnaires were received and analyzed from 171 fellows, faculty members, and practitioners (60.8 percent). Subspecialty decisions for pulmonology were usually made during residency, motivated by pulmonary rotations and exposure to stimulating faculty members. Although this subspecialty has recently developed into an established, growing field, the survey data confirmed that the amount of pulmonary interaction during medical school remains minimal.
