Hello friends,
Next Tuesday, the 21st, there will be a talk entitled "The Future of Primary Care in Academic Medicine" at noon in the MEB 3rd floor auditorium, and lunch will be served.
Needless to say, Pranay and I thought this would be a great opportunity for our group to learn about an important issue in health policy (and also be fed). So we are moving our regularly-scheduled discussion on Rationing to Tuesday the 28th.
But fret not if you really wanted to scratch that itch for health-economical issues, for here are a few articles to go with the lunch-lecture on The Future of Primary Care in Academic Medicine. It looks like a lot, but most of them are quite short and you can glean their point just from the headlines.
"Primary-Care Doctor Shortage May Undermine Reform Efforts" by Ashley Halsey III
"Delivering Better Primary Care" by Pauline Chen
"Increased primary-care interest not enough to affect physician-shortage trend" by Debra Beaulieu
"Doctors’ Hours Fall for a Decade, Adding to a U.S. Shortage" by Pat Wechsler
"Study: Primary Care Career Wealth Gap Totals Over $2.5 Million" by Shirley S. Wang
"General internists leaves practice sooner than internal medicine subspecialists, says ACP survey" (News-Medical.net)
As always, your comments, articles, topic suggestions, and everything else are very welcome.
Cheers,
-Long
