The formation and evaluation of a graduate program in health administration within a medical school.

Several aspects of the program in health administration that was established in 1968 by the faculty of the University of Colorado School of Medicine are described. Based on the premise that knowledge about the organization and the delivery of health services had not kept pace with the advances made in the scientific foundations of medicine, the program was designed to provide training in management, accounting, economics, medical care organization, quantitative methods, and in the other skills required for health administration. The results of a survey to identify the extent to which the program's graduates have fulfilled the original objectives are presented, including a description of the graduate's backgrounds and current job situations. The lessons learned from five year's experience teaching health administration within a medical school are also reviewed.

Dentists' attitudes toward continuing dental education: nontopic factors of demand for courses.

This article reports the results of a survey of dentists' attitudes that influence their demand for continuing education. Unlike the bulk of previous studies, which identified course topics of interest to dentists, this survey investigated attributes of courses unrelated to content. The 1,472 respondents from seven western and mid-western states indicated their attitudes toward mandatory attendance, tuition charges, associated costs, length of course, cancellation policies, reputation of instructor, offerings for auxiliaries, and other attributes of continuing education programs. The findings suggest the need for changes in program management and for further research into factors unrelated to course content that influence demand for dental continuing education courses.

Clinical program renovation management.

The day-to-day management of medical practice is so heavily influenced by tactical imperatives that few physicians have the time to think strategically. Traditionally, the difference between tactics and strategy is not a major concern of most physician executives. The realm of tactics is the short run, when managers must make do with the fixed resources at hand. Strategy addresses the long run, when all resources and markets are variable. A tactical focus is understandable, maybe even acceptable, in industries where nothing challenges traditional approaches to production of an established product or service. However, medical care in the 1990s is changing so fast that a physician executive must devote an incredible amount of time and effort just to stay confused about what is going on.
