Educational programs in US medical schools

Article Abstract:

Though the number of applicants to medical schools continues to increase, the number of acceptances has remained steady according to data collected by the Annual Medical School Questionnaire. The questionnaire was sent to the deans of 126 medical schools accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education. The 1992 acceptance rate for the first year of medical school was 46.7%. The average medical school tuition in 1992 was $20,223. The numbers of black men and white women applying to medical school have fluctuated, but the number of white male applicants has declined. White women accounted for 41.8% of first-year medical students. The average length of time needed to complete medical school is 153 weeks. Of 15,554 medical school graduates, 41% chose residencies in primary care specialties. Medical schools will continue to come under increasing pressure to encourage students to specialize in primary care as a result of continuing governmental health care reforms.

Article Abstract:

Medical schools and teaching hospitals are changing with the cost-effective environment imposed by managed care. Some medical schools are beginning to form alliances with health maintenance organizations and other types of managed care to give medical students exposure to these settings. Medical schools are starting primary care physician practices. The number of medical students has remained steady, while the number of physician faculty members has increased. However, the compensation for faculty members has decreased, and some practicing physicians are serving as volunteer faculty members.
