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.

Download or read book Understanding Perspective and Context in Medical Specialty Choice and Physician Satisfaction written by Denise D. Gibson and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its 2004 spring report, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) posits that Behavioral Sciences provides a perspective that can assist physicians in understanding their patients as embedded in a larger social and environmental context (Patricia A. Cuff and Neal Vanselow, Editors, Improving Medical Education: Enhancing the Behavioral and Social Science Content of Medical School Curricula). The report further indicates that perspective and context is crucial to patient care in terms of understanding the interaction between biological, cognitive, and learning processes to produce behavior, illness and health. Perspective and context is equally important in understanding physician satisfaction. The authors present their findings from a qualitative research study at one northeastern medical college in which they explored factors influencing physician satisfaction. The authors describe responses from practicing physicians and how responses were categorized into twenty (20) themes. Categorized themes from the study include: academic side of medicine, balancing personal and professional life, business side of medicine, clinical issues within specialty, dissatisfaction with medicine, expectations of medicine, gender, geographical location, match, monetary rewards, personal rewards/ satisfaction, politics within medicine, practice of medicine, pressures and demands, switching specialty/quitting medicine, stress associated with medicine, time commitments, training issues, full time/part time work, and other circumstances (i.e., military, locum tenums). The authors share "rich" examples from various themes found in the study. What are the implications of this study, specifically as it relates to behavioral science departments in American medical colleges? Participants in the study offer advice to medical students and faculty. The authors share this advice and solicit further suggestions for behavioral sciences from conference participants. The IOM recent report recommends that medical students demonstrate competency in one of six domains, including physician role and behavior. Physician well being is one of the high priority topics for inclusion in medical school curricula. Understanding physician satisfaction and assisting medical students in making informed choices about specialty choice is an important area for medical schools to examine. Including physician satisfaction and medical specialty choice in the behavioral sciences curriculum can also provide perspective and context about the complexity of medicine--a positive step towards physician well being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of women practicing medicine in the United States has grown steadily since the late 1960s, with women now roughly at parity with men among entering medical students. Why did so many women enter American medicine? How are women faring, professionally and personally, once they become physicians? Are women transforming the way medicine is practiced? To answer these questions, The Changing Face of Medicine draws on a wide array of sources, including interviews with women physicians and surveys of medical students and practitioners. The analysis is set in the twin contexts of a rapidly evolving medical system and profound shifts in gender roles in American society. Throughout the book, Ann K. Boulis and Jerry A. Jacobs critically examine common assumptions about women in medicine. For example, they find that women's entry into medicine has less to do with the decline in status of the profession and more to do with changes in women's roles in contemporary society. Women physicians' families are becoming more and more like those of other working women. Still, disparities in terms of specialty, practice ownership, academic rank, and leadership roles endure, and barriers to opportunity persist. Along the way, Boulis and Jacobs address a host of issues, among them dual-physician marriages, specialty choice, time spent with patients, altruism versus materialism, and how physicians combine work and family. Women's presence in American medicine will continue to grow beyond the 50 percent mark, but the authors question whether this change by itself will make American medicine more caring and more patient centered. The future direction of the profession will depend on whether women doctors will lead the effort to chart a new course for health care delivery in the United States.
