The Redistribution Of Graduate Medical Education Positions In 2005 Failed To Boost Primary Care Or Rural Training Graduate Medical Education
Graduate medical education (GME), the system to train graduates of medical schools in their chosen specialties, costs the government nearly $13 billion annually, yet there is little accountability in the system for addressing critical physician shortages in specific specialties and geographic areas. Medicare provides the bulk of GME funds, and the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 redistributed nearly 3,000 residency positions among the nation’s hospitals, largely in an effort to train more residents in primary care and in rural areas. However, when we analyzed the outcomes o...

The Geography Of Graduate Medical Education: Imbalances Signal Need For New Distribution Policies Graduate Medical Education
Graduate medical education (GME) determines the overall number, specialization mix, and geographic distribution of the US physician workforce. Medicare GME payments—which represent the largest single public investment in health workforce development—are allocated based on an inflexible system whose rationale, effectiveness, and balance are increasingly being scrutinized. We analyzed Medicare cost reports from teaching hospitals and found large state-level differences in the number of Medicare-sponsored residents per 100,000 population (1.63 in Montana versus 77.13 in New York), total Medicare GME payments ($1.6...

The (re)-introduction of semiotics into medical education: on the works of Thure von Uexküll
Thure von Uexküll's reputation as a pioneer in biosemiotics and also in psychosomatic medicine is well documented. It is easy to see these disciplines reflected in his notable publications, both in English and in German. However, if one spares the time to filter through all of his articles, monographs, conference papers and editorials in English and in German, a notable gap arises in his English language publications: that of clinical education. This gap in the English language literature may seem unimportant in and of itself, but it speaks volumes when we consider the total absence of medical semiotics in the curr...

National survey of international electives for global health in undergraduate medical education in Japan, 2011-2014.
Authors: Suzuki T, Nishigori H Abstract Interest in global health in medical education is increasing in Western countries, whereas data from non-Western countries is scarce.
