Updates for Our Medicine and the Arts Feature
Medicine and the Arts (MATA) is Academic Medicine’s longest-running feature. Since 1991, MATA authors have explored the relationship between art and the teaching, learning, and practice of medicine. MATA has long served a unique role in the literature of health professions education by inviting moments of reflection on medicine as seen through the lens of the arts and humanities. To ensure the ongoing success of the MATA feature in an ever-evolving digital landscape, we are announcing some updates to how we handle the artwork that forms the basis of all MATA pieces.
Each MATA piece comprises a work of art—a pa...

Faculty and Student Perceptions of Unauthorized Collaborations
In this study, it was clear students do recognize the need for individual accountability and that their individual competence will be assessed, but they also recognize that they are encouraged to work with each other and that throughout their careers they will be working with colleagues in the clinical settings and for the rest of their lives. That gets at some of the tension, and we create some of that tension in the curriculum because we foster students working together in small groups and we embrace them supporting each other and helping each other learn. Then that comes up against the individual demonstration of compet...

Support Growing for Pharmacists to Ease Physician Workload
In a recent survey, Surescripts found growing support for pharmacists to prescribe a select number of medications to patients, thus easing the workload on physicians. Technologies like direct messaging and record sharing is making this possible.
Physician Shortage
Physicians everywhere are overworked. This is especially true in primary care where there are not enough physicians to meet the growing patient demand. This is leading to access challenges and to burnout.
The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) predicts that by 2034 the US will be short:
Between 17,800 and 48,000 primary care physicians
Between 21,00...

How Policy Changes Can Fix Market Distortions in Healthcare and Improve the Country ’s Debt
The following is a guest article by Zach Markin, Co-Founder and CEO at HTD Health
American healthcare is the most dysfunctional industry in our country. Historically, it is the most prolific driver of family bankruptcy, and now it is on its way to bankrupting our country collectively. A major justification for President Biden’s tax hike proposal is to shore up the tenuous finances of Medicare whose trust fund is forecasted to be depleted by 2028. While this is important, such efforts address the symptoms of a dysfunctional industry rather than the root causes.
While the near-term liquidity and long-term financial health ...

Preventive Medicine is the Key to Value-Based Care
The following is a guest article by Dr. Ed Cladera, Medical Director at AristaMD
We’re amid a massive provider shortage, and it’s only getting worse. According to data from the Association of American Medical Colleges, the U.S. is on track to face a shortage of up to 124,000 physicians by 2034. As a result of being unable to access care, patients are pushing off routine health services. Neglected care comes with more complications down the line.
Studies have shown that preventative care decreases the incidence of disease and patient mortality, resulting in better care outcomes. Preventive medicine proactively identifie...

In An Ironic Twist, the AMA Seeks Alternatives to the Residency Matching Program
Jeffrey A. SingerLast weekend the American Medical Association House of Delegates passed a resolution tacitly claiming that the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) is likely anti ‐competitive and a violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. The resolution concluded:RESOLVED, That our American Medical Association study alternatives to the current residency and fellowship Match process which would be less restrictive on free market competition for applicants. (Directive to Take Action)This is quite surprising, given that the AMA was a co‐defendant, along with the Association of American Medical Col...
