Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How and why do doctors select their specialties, work settings and communities in which to practice? Do medical students know what they want to do once they finish their education? Can doctors in training be nudged toward practice in certain under-served geographic areas and in specialties facing a shortage of members? How can practice organizations that have a deficit in applicants recruit the physicians they need? How do practice characteristics differ from one specialty and work-setting to another? What features of a work-setting make for satisfaction and dissatisfaction in the different specialties and practice organizations? This book addresses those questions and others related to the distribution of physicians in the workforce. Data from two studies of physicians in practice and one large-scale study of participants in a summer program for medical students are analyzed to pose answers to these questions. In one study, the graduates from one medical school who were studied as students are followed up nearly half a century later, at the end of their careers, to see what characteristics might have been used to anticipate their eventual decisions. In another, a large sample of physicians in practice in various specialties and parts of the United States were queried about the features of their practices and the degree to which they wanted those features to increase or decrease. Finally, the amount that personal characteristics and program characteristics contributed to the achievement of four types of student goals were determined for 1000 participants in a summer externship program sponsored by the American Medical Student Association Foundation. Implications for medical school selection of students, student self-selection, work-setting design, student educational experiences and community support of the practicing physician are discussed.

In developing such a model, the logical first step was to undertake a literature review. Our intent was to identify the studies that were the strongest methodologically, summarize their findings, and determine to what extent these findings could be used as the basis for an integrated model of physicians' career decision making.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Because of the amount of knowledge, cost of a medical school education, length of time specialty preparation requires, and the value of achieving career satisfaction, research into the specific area of career guidance assisting aspiring physicians choose a professionally rewarding area of medical practice is critically important. Past studies in this area of specialty choice examined specific variables such as personality or gender, or specific specialty areas such as primary care, or specific populations, most often the medical students themselves. This dissertation adds to the research by asking practicing physicians to complete a questionnaire designed specifically for this study to identify their major influences in selecting a specialty, if they were satisfied practicing their area of specialty and how their idealism was related to specialty and satisfaction. The mentor relationship emerged as a significant influence in the surgery/anesthesia physician group. Clerkship and high amount of patient contact were important for the primary care group while body system interest, high income potential, high demand for services, and interest in performing specific procedures were significant non-influences for this group. Interesting as well, was that the other influences of ability/skills and lifestyle expectations were not significantly different for any of the three groups which in addition to the two above included those in a medical specialist/subspecialty category. Primary care tended to be chosen by those who were older at graduation, those who graduated more recently and those who made their specialty decision earlier in their medical education. Medical Specialist/Subspecialty tended to be chosen by those who made a specialty choice later. Surgery/Anesthesia tended to be chosen by males and those who had higher debt. No significant differences in satisfaction levels among the different groups of physicians were found. None of the demographic differences in gender, age at graduation, debt level, having a physician parent, time of specialty choice or being born in the U.S. predicted later satisfaction levels. Generally, most physicians were satisfied in the practice of their specialty, the amount of patient contact they had, the amount of intellectual stimulation and their collegial interaction and tended to be a little less satisfied with levels of compensation and lifestyle demands. Physicians who saw themselves at the same level of idealism prior to medical school and after becoming a physician, were generally more satisfied with all aspects of their jobs. Those in the primary care groups rated themselves as being more idealistic compared to those in both surgery/anesthesia and medical specialties/subspecialties. Those in surgery/anesthesia rated their idealism as being the same as when they first chose to become a physician, as compared to those in primary care who rated themselves as currently less idealistic than when they chose to become a physician. The study further opens the door to additional research investigation into medical specialty selection.

Download or read book Conflict of Interest in Medical Research Education and Practice written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-09-16 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collaborations of physicians and researchers with industry can provide valuable benefits to society, particularly in the translation of basic scientific discoveries to new therapies and products. Recent reports and news stories have, however, documented disturbing examples of relationships and practices that put at risk the integrity of medical research, the objectivity of professional education, the quality of patient care, the soundness of clinical practice guidelines, and the public's trust in medicine. Conflict of Interest in Medical Research, Education, and Practice provides a comprehensive look at conflict of interest in medicine. It offers principles to inform the design of policies to identify, limit, and manage conflicts of interest without damaging constructive collaboration with industry. It calls for both short-term actions and long-term commitments by institutions and individuals, including leaders of academic medical centers, professional societies, patient advocacy groups, government agencies, and drug, device, and pharmaceutical companies. Failure of the medical community to take convincing action on conflicts of interest invites additional legislative or regulatory measures that may be overly broad or unduly burdensome. Conflict of Interest in Medical Research, Education, and Practice makes several recommendations for strengthening conflict of interest policies and curbing relationships that create risks with little benefit. The book will serve as an invaluable resource for individuals and organizations committed to high ethical standards in all realms of medicine.
