The military's assault on AIDS

Article Abstract:

Military hospitals provide the 1,049 HIV-positive members of the military with excellent health care. HIV-positive and AIDS patients in the military are assessed twice annually, treated by experienced AIDS clinicians who may introduce new medicine not available to the general public and provided with psychiatric services. Military personnel with AIDS can remain in the military as long as their health allows it and then are treated on disability in the military medical system.

Anything but academic

Article Abstract:

Academic medical centers account for 20% of US inpatient admissions, but managed-care pressures and likely Medicaid and Medicare funding cuts could be threatening the centers' teaching and research roles. The steps academic medical centers must take to survive include becoming less bureaucratic and more market-responsive and adjusting their relationships with public entities, to gain flexibility and opportunities for innovation.

Med school on the make

Article Abstract:

Wyoming has contracted medical schools in neighboring states to train Wyoming residents. The practice began in 1971 when the state leveraged its medical school investment to send students to the University of Washington Medical School. State legislators hope the agreements will encourage residents to return to the state to practice medicine.
