Some observers have expressed the expectation that these women physicians will promote progressive changes in health care and that they will be more likely to emphasize “humanistic” aspects of treating patients. This paper presents data from a national survey of U.S. medical students which provides a comparison of several relevant characteristics of these male and female students. There are several important areas where significant differences are apparent. Women students are more likely to place greater importance on the desire to help people as a career motivation, for example, and are less likely to express satisfaction with the status quo in American health care. There are also significant male-female differences in career plans with respect to areas such as specialty choice and preference for practice setting. These findings are used to consider the question of the probable impact of increased numbers of women physicians on the future of American health care. Projections for the future are made more difficult because of important changes within the medical profession and in the context of health care organization, but it is clear that women physicians do represent some potential for progressive change in American medicine.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":79937,"journal":{"name":"Health policy and education","volume":"2 1","pages":"Pages 33-45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0165-2281(81)90003-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21118355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The importance of such an analysis lies in the fact that the current legislation, the Health Professions Educational Assistance Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-484), expires on September 30, 1980. Preparations for new legislation are currently under way. Therefore, discussions, such as those presented in this paper, are appropriate and should be part of the current literature with the hope of generating ideas from potential readers.</p><p>Education, as developed in the US, has been strongly viewed throughout history as a public right (an inherent individual right) which produces public benefits. A discussion of this issue is presented along with an historical analysis of federal support for higher education, including medical education. The purpose is to establish the case that federal involvement (investment) has been and is at such a level that discontinued support could not be absorbed at the local or state level. Conditions and restrictions of federal support are also included in this section.</p><p>Another section of the paper discusses the financial structure (sources of support, costs) found in most medical schools with an emphasis on the need for federal support both in terms of the amount and type of aid desired. The major points stressed are related to preserving institutional autonomy, diversity, and integrity and maintaining equality of educational opportunity. Alternative sources and types of financial support are discussed. The paper concludes with a summary of major points leading to the authors' position of continuing, unrestricted federal support for medical education on an institutional basis.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":79937,"journal":{"name":"Health policy and education","volume":"1 1","pages":"Pages 27-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0165-2281(79)80004-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21169142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The curriculum which was finally developed is a post-secondary, seven-year program. The outstanding features include general overall and specific behavioral objectives: a core curriculum which is required of all students enrolled in the health professions; early orientation to the health professions so that a health team attitude can be developed; and the behavioral sciences and human biology introduced at an early stage. Islamic studies deal with a variety of issues related to Islamic life and electives are available in the first year of the program. Introduction to clerkships is an activity that prepares students for greater responsibility for patients. Students are evaluated constantly during their academic progression and a bachelor of science degree is awarded after completion of four years. To proceed further in the medical curriculum, a student must successfully complete a comprehensive examination. A variety of clinical settings will be used and a medical degree awarded upon completion of the curriculum. A teacher development program to strengthen teaching competence will be available.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":79937,"journal":{"name":"Health policy and education","volume":"1 1","pages":"Pages 107-116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0165-2281(79)80007-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21114979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Expectations of consumers and the public include a broader definition of professional competence which includes caring and ability to communicate as aspects of curing. Knowledgeable consumers are concerned that inadequate safeguards exist to preclude physicians from practicing beyond their scope of competence and to assure continued competence of a physician over time. While assuring competence is the responsibility of the medical profession, it serves a public function and must be held accountable to public and consumer interests. Consumers should be involved more directly in the process. They can bring valuable judgment to the human questions relating to competence. They can bring a more holistic and humanitarian view to the process. Involvement of consumers, particularly in relation to hearing grievances, would serve to increase public confidence in certifying institutions. They can help assure that public, not merely professional, interests are served. To assure that consumer representation makes a significant contribution, consumer members of certifying bodies should be provided with adequate orientation, continued training and direct staff assistance to aid in understanding technical issues and evaluating technical recommendations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":79937,"journal":{"name":"Health policy and education","volume":"1 2","pages":"Pages 187-195"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0165-2281(80)80022-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21117436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
