摘要:

Graduates of “fifth pathway” programs at medical schools in New York state between 1976 and 1978 were studied to determine their professional careers and choice of medical specialties. Of the 545 physicians participating in the program, 510 were able to be located. Of this latter cohort, 177 (34.7 percent) had entered primary care fields as of 1981. Of the physicians no longer in residency training, 19.1 percent had full-time salaried positions in academic institutions, and the remaining physicians were engaged in various clinical medical activities. Of the 545 fifth pathway graduates, 74 (13.6 percent) had not been able to pass the licensing examinations as of 1981, and an additional 54 (9.9 percent) had not taken those examinations. Comparisons with regular students graduating from a medical school in New York state showed that fifth pathway graduates were more likely to select nonprimary care specialties than primary care specialties (p less than 0.001). These data suggest that although a majority of graduates of fifth pathway programs in New York state are involved in the provision of health care, a small number are still unable to engage in the practice of medicine.

摘要:

The authors in this paper report the findings of a survey of medical students at the University of California, Irvine, California College of Medicine regarding their views on the Medicare and Medicaid programs and on the problem of fraud and abuse in these government medical benefit programs. The students were asked their views on four issues: (a) the quality of various aspects of Medicare and Medicaid; (b) the seriousness and prevalence of physician fraud and abuse in the programs; (c) the punishment that should be given to violators; and (d) the causes and prevention of fraud and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid. They viewed fraud and abuse as serious but not as being widespread. They believed that physicians who violate program regulations are not likely to be punished by official agencies. They favored moderate penalties for violations. Explanations offered by the students for fraud and abuse focused on physicians' attitudes and motivations as well as on the structure of the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

摘要:

A total of 257 third-year residents in pediatrics, internal medicine, and family practice were asked about their career goals for the year following their residency and in five years, and information was obtained from them about their motives for career choices. The authors specifically examined the following: humanitarian interests; intellectual motivation; service motives; and practical, personal, and financial considerations. The characteristics of the residency training program which may have influenced their career choices were also examined. A majority of the 214 pediatric residents said they had not considered going into pediatrics on entry to medical school. Of these residents, 109 planned academic pursuits for the following year, while only 81 of the 109 anticipated an academic career within five years. Intellectual stimulation, geographic location, and an “opportunity to clarify goals” were the three most frequently mentioned factors in choosing positions for the following year.

摘要:

A technique to teach first-year medical students to conduct brief interviews that focus on how medical illness affects the daily life of patients is described. The technique includes a conceptual model of the interview and an explicit teaching method for instructors and students. With the conceptual model, the structure, goals, and techniques of interviewing are identified, and an operational definition of empathic interviewing is provided. The teaching methods include a manual and a seminar for faculty members, a syllabus for students, workshops for students using live patient volunteers, and evaluations of the students' interviews based on the conceptual model.
