The TPIA model featured weekly assessments, each consisting of 2 MCQ exams given on the same day with a 4-hour study period in between. Exams were paired, consisting of an equal number of items that addressed the same learning objectives.

Ironically, an unintended consequence of governance changes implicit in such mergers is the marginalization of the academic mission. Historically, the education and research missions have been effectively cross-subsidized by the medical school dean from the margin derived from the faculty clinical practice plan. Yet, in many merged entities the faculty practice is subsumed under the health system, where its margin no longer directly accrues to the school. Concurrent shifts in health system governance have removed clinical enterprise oversight from the dean and chairs, effectively assigning financial support of education and research to the health system where it competes with a strong appetite to grow the clinical enterprise. Likewise, faculty are conscripted to more clinical service rather than encouraged to engage in academic endeavors. Consequently, the vigor of the education and research missions has been compromised in academic health system mergers. This circumstance invites critical review of the fundamental concept of academic medical center mergers and their resulting unintended consequences for the academic mission and faculty well-being to inform the wisdom of continuing this trend. A unified cadre of university leaders, deans, and faculty are needed to advocate for greater reinvestment of the margin in teaching and research efforts. Concurrently, academic medicine must develop more academic physicians committed to the academic mission as leaders of health systems.
