u s medical students choice of Careers and its future impact on Health Care Manpower
Journal of health and human services administration, 2000Co-Authors: Anu Matorin, K Venegassamuels, Pedro Ruiz, Patricia Butler, A AbdullaAbstract:: During the last 10-15 years, the Health Care system of this country has faced major challenges, among them, spiraling increases of Health Care costs, physician Manpower maldistribution, excessive production of subspecialists, shortages of primary Care physicians (family practice, general internal medicine, and general pediatrics), and lack of access to Health Care, predominantly among the poor and disadvantaged populations. As a way of shedding light on some of these challenges, the authors conducted a study among junior medical students from the University of Texas Medical School at Houston which focused on some of the factors that might influence medical students' choice of Careers. In this article, the authors review the most salient findings for some of the problems that currently plague the Health Care system of this nation. Certainly, the outcome of this study has important educational and Health service delivery implications not only in the United States but abroad as well, particularly among developing nations.

The system problems related to thoracic surgery practices in japan; message from the Japanese association for thoracic surgery
Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery, 2007Co-Authors: Hikaru MatsudaAbstract:: The thoracic surgery practice in Japan has characteristics such as strong burden to surgeons and young trainees for high-risk procedures under poor Health Care Manpower system and less qualification for their high-level practices. The presence of too many numbers of certified surgeons and teaching hospitals for cardiac, general thoracic and esophageal surgeries has been well recognized providing low quality maintenance and poor training system. The Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery has recently made a step towards to open the data of hospital quality promoting the discussion to reunify the hospitals and surgeons into reasonable numbers to respond to the social demand. The new 2-year postgraduate clinical training and also a new specialty medical board approval for advertisement have provided various problems and controversies, and we must make efforts to overcome these problems by providing new strategies to make our practices more qualified.

Pediatric Outpatient Clinic Manpower Requirement Variables at Navy Medical Treatment Facilities
2000Co-Authors: Jeanne M. SarmientoAbstract:Abstract : This thesis examines the variables that influence the determination of Manpower requirements at Naval Medical Center San Diego and Naval Hospital Bremerton Pediatric Outpatient Clinics. The study reviews the military and civilian managed Care program, the principles of Population Health Management, and the present medical model used by military and civilian facility to determine medical Manpower requirement. The researcher sent survey questions via electronic mail to six senior medical staffs of the two Military Treatment Facilities MTF) stipulated above. The survey questions were formulated from the models of civilian medical facilities and the Joint Health Care Manpower Standards model, which were categorized into three themes: clinic management, clinical services provided, and Manpower and personnel. Theme two - "clinical services provided," of the survey instrument and the statistical workload data for Fiscal Year 1999 were used in the analysis. The results of this study showed that MTFs have shifted their perspective in determining and allocating medical Manpower requirements to be more in unison with the civilian sector's perspective than the military's staffing model. Therefore, historical workload data are not ideal determinants for medical Manpower requirements.
