clinician scientist mb phd Training in the uk a nationwide survey of medical school Policy
BMJ Open, 2015Co-Authors: Ashton Barnettvanes, Timothy M CoxAbstract:Objective This study surveyed all UK medical schools regarding their Bachelor of Medicine (MB), Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) (MB/PhD) Training Policy in order to map the current Training landscape and to provide evidence for further research and Policy development. Setting Deans of all UK medical schools registered with the Medical Schools Council were invited to participate in this survey electronically. Primary The number of medical schools that operate institutional MB/PhD programmes or permit self-directed student PhD intercalation. Secondary Medical school recruitment procedures and attitudes to Policy guidance. Findings 27 of 33 (81%) registered UK medical schools responded. Four (14%) offer an institutional MB/PhD programme. However, of those without institutional programmes, 17 (73%) permit study interruption and PhD intercalation: two do not (one of whom had discontinued their programme in 2013), three were unsure and one failed to answer the question. Regarding student eligibility, respondents cited high academic achievement in medical studies and a bachelor9s or master9s degree. Of the Medical schools without institutional MB/PhD programmes, 5 (21%) have intentions to establish a programme, 8 (34%) do not and 3 were unsure, seven did not answer. 19 medical schools (70%) considered national guidelines are needed for future MB/PhD programme development. Conclusions We report the first national survey of MB/PhD Training in the UK. Four medical schools have operational institutional MB/PhD programmes, with a further five intending to establish one. Most medical schools permit study interruption and PhD intercalation. The total number MB/PhD students yet to graduate from medical school could exceed 150, with 30 graduating per year. A majority of medical school respondents to this survey believe national guidelines are required for MB/PhD programme development and implementation. Further research should focus on the MB/PhD student experience. Discussion regarding local and national MB/PhD policies between medical schools and academic stakeholders are needed.

Training subsidies and the wage returns to continuing vocational Training evidence from italian regions
Labour Economics, 2012Co-Authors: Giorgio Brunello, Simona Comi, Daniela SoneddaAbstract:We use the regional and time variation of Training grants in Italy to identify the causal effect of (formal continuing vocational) Training on earnings. We estimate log-linear earnings regressions with constant marginal returns to Training and find that one additional week of Training increases monthly net earnings by 1.36%, substantially less than the 3% or more often found in the literature. Estimated returns vary significantly by firm size, and range from 0.40% in firms with more than 100 employees to 2.51% in smaller firms, the bulk of the Italian private sector. A simple back of the envelope comparison of the marginal costs and benefits of Training Policy suggests that the latter are higher than the former.

Training subsidies and the wage returns to continuing vocational Training evidence from italian regions
2010Co-Authors: Giorgio Brunello, Simona Comi, Daniela SoneddaAbstract:We use the variation of Training Policy over time and across Italian regions to identify the relationship between individual Training and earnings. Using longitudinal data for the period 1999 to 2005, we find that the marginal effect of one additional week of formal Training on monthly earnings is 4.4 percent. This effect declines rapidly over time and is equal to 0.86 percent 10 years after the investment. We also find that marginal returns are higher among small firms, which are more likely to be constrained by lack of economic resources in their Training decisions. Since small firms train less than large firms, their higher returns from the Training induced by Training policies can simply reflect decreasing marginal returns to Training.

family medicine graduate proximity to their site of Training Policy options for improving the distribution of primary care access
Family Medicine, 2015Co-Authors: Ernest Blake Fagan, Claire Gibbons, Sean C Finnegan, Stephen Petterson, Lars E Peterson, Robert L Phillips, Andrew BazemoreAbstract:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The US Graduate Medical Education (GME) system is failing to produce primary care physicians in sufficient quantity or in locations where they are most needed. Decentralization of GME Training has been suggested by several federal advisory boards as a means of reversing primary care maldistribution, but supporting evidence is in need of updating. We assessed the geographic relationship between family medicine GME Training sites and graduate practice location. METHODS Using the 2012 American Medical Association Masterfile and American Academy of Family Physicians membership file, we obtained the percentage of family physicians in direct patient care located within 5, 25, 75, and 100 miles and within the state of their family medicine residency program (FMRP). We also analyzed the effect of time on family physician distance from Training site. RESULTS More than half of family physicians practice within 100 miles of their FMRP (55%) and within the same state (57%). State retention varies from 15% to 75%; the District of Columbia only retains 15% of family physician graduates, while Texas and California retain 75%. A higher percentage of recent graduates stay within 100 miles of their FMRP (63%), but this relationship degrades over time to about 51%. CONCLUSIONS The majority of practicing family physicians remained proximal to their GME Training site and within state. This suggests that decentralized Training may be a part of the solution to uneven distribution among primary care physicians. State and federal Policy-makers should prioritize funding Training in or near areas with poor access to primary care services.

optimizing the global nursing workforce to ensure universal palliative care access and alleviate serious health related suffering worldwide
Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, 2021Co-Authors: William E Rosa, Amisha Parekh De Campos, Nauzley C Abedini, Tamryn F Gray, Huda Abusaad Huijer, Afsan Bhadelia, Juli Mc Gowan Boit, Samuel Byiringiro, Nigel Crisp, Constance DahlinAbstract:Abstract Context Palliative care access is fundamental to the highest attainable standard of health and a core component of universal health coverage. Forging universal palliative care access is insurmountable without strategically optimizing the nursing workforce and integrating palliative nursing into health systems at all levels. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored both the critical need for accessible palliative care to alleviate serious health-related suffering and the key role of nurses to achieve this goal. Objectives 1) Summarize palliative nursing contributions to the expansion of palliative care access; 2) identify emerging nursing roles in alignment with global palliative care recommendations and Policy agendas; 3) promote nursing leadership development to enhance universal access to palliative care services. Methods Empirical and Policy literature review; best practice models; recommendations to optimize the palliative nursing workforce. Results Nurses working across settings provide a considerable untapped resource that can be leveraged to advance palliative care access and palliative care program development. Best practice models demonstrate promising approaches and outcomes related to education and Training, Policy and advocacy, and academic-practice partnerships. Conclusion An estimated 28 million nurses account for 59% of the international healthcare workforce and deliver up to 90% of primary health services. It has been well-documented that nurses are often the first or only healthcare provider available in many parts of the world. Strategic investments in international and interdisciplinary collaboration, as well as Policy changes and the safe expansion of high-quality nursing care, can optimize the efforts of the global nursing workforce to mitigate serious health-related suffering.
