Book Financing The Education Of Health Workers  Gaining A Competitive Edge

Download or read book Financing The Education Of Health Workers Gaining A Competitive Edge written by Alexander S Preker and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume reviews the economic underpinnings (investment and financing) and institutional reforms needed to successfully scale up the education of health workers. In this regard, the book examines five major economic and institutional challenges that policy makers face: (1) governance of health education organizations and systems; (2) approaches to financing the education of health workers; (3) the special nature of capital investment in expanding the capacity of health education institutions; (4) public-private partnerships in health education; and (5) equity in accessing health education, with a special focus on issues that arise from private approaches to the education of health workers.Much of the existing literature focuses on the quality and contents of training health workers, and very little has been written on the institutional dimension of financing their training and education. This book examines the complex institutional and financial models and approaches that can impact the demand and supply of health worker education programs around the world.Building on the findings of the Independent Commission on the Education of Health Professionals for the 21st Century, which published on the foundations and the issues of global postsecondary professional education, this volume brings in new and in-depth aspects such as governance, capital investments, and the role of the private sector in the production of health professionals; thus allowing the reader to understand how the health worker education field has moved from theory to practice.

Book In the Nation s Compelling Interest

Download or read book In the Nation s Compelling Interest written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-06-29 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is rapidly transforming into one of the most racially and ethnically diverse nations in the world. Groups commonly referred to as minorities-including Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, and Alaska Natives-are the fastest growing segments of the population and emerging as the nation's majority. Despite the rapid growth of racial and ethnic minority groups, their representation among the nation's health professionals has grown only modestly in the past 25 years. This alarming disparity has prompted the recent creation of initiatives to increase diversity in health professions. In the Nation's Compelling Interest considers the benefits of greater racial and ethnic diversity, and identifies institutional and policy-level mechanisms to garner broad support among health professions leaders, community members, and other key stakeholders to implement these strategies. Assessing the potential benefits of greater racial and ethnic diversity among health professionals will improve the access to and quality of healthcare for all Americans.

An introductory section considers the current climate for medical education and the health care workforce, noting the rapid movement to managed care and the need to increase the number of primary care physicians. The next section examines a variety of approaches by various states for financing graduate medical education (GME), including the following: Medicaid payments to teaching hospitals; line-item/state agency funding for family medicine departments and primary care residencies; and student/resident scholarships and loans with service obligations. This section also identifies emerging state strategies such as regulations requiring public medical schools and residencies to establish family practice clerkships and rural rotations in community settings, and monitoring the use of faculty clinical revenues in public medical schools. Model trends in state GME support are described for the following states: Tennessee, Michigan, Minnesota, West Virginia, and Texas. A policy issues checklist is attached to help states decide how they should support medical education. An appendix provides tables and figures showing number of graduates planning to practice in-state, number of physician residents and residency programs by state, and medical school revenues from states.

Book Redesigning Continuing Education in the Health Professions

Download or read book Redesigning Continuing Education in the Health Professions written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-02-12 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today in the United States, the professional health workforce is not consistently prepared to provide high quality health care and assure patient safety, even as the nation spends more per capita on health care than any other country. The absence of a comprehensive and well-integrated system of continuing education (CE) in the health professions is an important contributing factor to knowledge and performance deficiencies at the individual and system levels. To be most effective, health professionals at every stage of their careers must continue learning about advances in research and treatment in their fields (and related fields) in order to obtain and maintain up-to-date knowledge and skills in caring for their patients. Many health professionals regularly undertake a variety of efforts to stay up to date, but on a larger scale, the nation's approach to CE for health professionals fails to support the professions in their efforts to achieve and maintain proficiency. Redesigning Continuing Education in the Health Professions illustrates a vision for a better system through a comprehensive approach of continuing professional development, and posits a framework upon which to develop a new, more effective system. The book also offers principles to guide the creation of a national continuing education institute.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial Planning Basics for Doctors is a comprehensive guide on building a long-term financial plan for doctors and their families. Subjects covered include student loans, home buying, disability insurance, estate planning, college planning, retirement planning, investments, and behavioral finance, among many others. Each chapter starts with the basics before addressing more advanced concepts, frequently with examples and graphs, and concludes with a concise summary of the key takeaways. Throughout the book, there are links to free downloadable spreadsheets and a planning checklist to help you jump-start and organize your financial plan. The content provided is a result of the feedback the authors have received over thousands of meetings with doctors, condensed into a thorough overview of the most relevant ideas.

Download or read book Educating Physicians written by Molly Cooke and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-05-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PRAISE FOR EDUCATING PHYSICIANS "Educating Physicians provides a masterful analysis of undergraduate and graduate medical education in the United States today. It represents a major educational document, based firmly on educational psychology, learning theory, empirical studies, and careful personal observations of many individual programs. It also recognizes the importance of financing, regulation, and institutional culture on the learning environment, which suffuses its recommendations for reform with cogency and power. Most important, like Abraham Flexner's classic study a century ago, the report recognizes that medical education and practice, at their core, are profoundly moral enterprises. This is a landmark volume that merits attention from anyone even peripherally involved with medical education." —Kenneth M. Ludmerer, author, Time to Heal: American Medical Education from the Turn of the Century to the Era of Managed Care "This is a very important book that comes at a critical time in our nation's history. We will not have enduring health care reform in this country unless we rethink our medical education paradigms. This book is a call to arms for doing just that." —George E. Thibault, president, Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation "The authors provide us with the evidence-based model for physician education with associated changes in infrastructure, policy, and our roles as educators. Whether you agree or not with their conclusions, if you are a teacher this book is a must-read as it will frame both what and how we discuss medical education throughout the current century." —Deborah Simpson, associate dean for educational support and evaluation, Medical College of Wisconsin "A provocative book that provides us with a creative vision for medical education. Using in-depth case studies of innovative educational practices illustrating what is actually possible, the authors provide sage advice for transforming medical education on the basis of learning theories and educational research." —Judith L. Bowen, professor of medicine, Oregon Health & Science University

  • ISBN : 1452263477
  • Pages : 87 pages

Download or read book The Right Price written by Christine Wiebe and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 1999-10-22 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those contemplating medical school have heard horror stories about the cost of medical education. This book helps medical students determine the real cost of their education and the best way to finance it based on the school they choose. The volume also includes references for funding sources and counseling. Readers will learn: * The different costs of education depending on the school(s) selected, and how great the final tally may be. * Alternative ways to finance medical education. * The types of service-repayment plans offered by the military and other organizations. * How to adapt to a life of temporary debt and stay up to date on laws and policies that impact medical school debt. How much does it really cost to be a doctor? Can a student afford to obtain financial aid at a prestigious school, knowing that they will end up owing years later while friends who choose to attend less expensive schools pay off debts quicker? With an expert eye, Christine Weibe gives readers the real scoop on medical school, weaving in the importance of spending money wisely and realistically. Since many students focus all their efforts on being accepted into medical school instead of forming a realistic picture of the financial costs and benefits of becoming a doctor, she gives advice on avoiding disillusionment and how to budget money. She also stresses the importance of obtaining credit reports, getting and paying off loans, and figuring out how much the student′s family should contribute. For example, one way to save money is to take advantage of programs that will pay for schooling in exchange for the promise to practice medicine at that location for a specified time. This practical book can be a guide for anyone considering or already making the trek through medical school.
