Re: US MANAGED CAREFrom: Bert Gold (bgold@itsa.ucsf.EDU)Thu Apr 11 19:12:34 1996
MD guys (including gals), The Pew Report included all of the issues concerning rural v. urban medicine when it came to the conclusion that 20% of America's medical schools need to be closed in the next 6 years (written Dec. 1995, available FREE from the Pew Commission on the Health Professions, San Francisco). Also, the Institute of Medicine, in a report issued in February 1996 largely concurred. [That one costs about $20 and comes from National Academy Press, which has an 800 number]. The bottom line is, You guys gotta figure out whether your gonna get a better deal if you let things be the way they've been (a la Managed Care) or if they shift to some other kinda plan (a la some kinda National Health Insurance). I think it makes prudent, business sense for you all to be thinking about this. Why do I care? Most of my kinda guy get jobs at Med. Schools.: If they're gonna close 20%, that alota my kinda guy walkin' the streets. ALSO As I suggested in a slightly unrelated post, somebody's gotta pay for Genetics (it's the coming thing, you know ((sarcasm)), so who's it gonna be: Gotta be someone with a vested interest in a healthy future population: That isn't neccessarily AT&T.
-- Bert Gold, Ph.D. "If only we stay with that principle University of California, San Francisco which counsels us always to hold School of Medicine to the difficult, then that which Department of Pediatrics now seems to us most foreign, will Program in Medical Genetics become what we most trust and (415) 476-2850 find most faithful." - R.M. Rilke

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
