The status of women in medicine at the Brown University School of Medicine.

Although the number of women medical faculty appointed and promoted at the School of Medicine has increased gradually since 1987, the extent to which women have advanced in academic medicine and the timeliness of their movement forward are of concern. With women constituting nearly 20% of the medical faculty at Brown, and comprising only 5% of professorial appointments, it is easy to see the disparities. While the Brown University School of Medicine stands out as one of less than a dozen medical schools with an Office of Women in Medicine, clearly there is still much to accomplish in this domain. Progress may be accelerated through networking and advocacy promoted by professional development programs sponsored by offices for women in medicine and organizations as RIMWA. Offering women medical faculty a forum to discuss issues as departmental promotion criteria in academic medicine and to link up with other women physicians, ultimately serves not only women faculty but their institution. Providing role models is critical to assist women medical students in looking well ahead to plan for their own career development. In creating opportunities for dialogue among women in medicine at all levels in the medical school environment and among women physicians in the nearby community, institutions take an essential step forward towards supporting women's advancement in medicine.

Parents' and physicians' perceptions of facial plastic surgery in children with Down's syndrome.

This study was designed to investigate both parents' and physicians' attitudes and perceptions concerning facial plastic surgery in persons with Down's syndrome. The results of this inquiry revealed that more physicians (63%) than parents (28%) feel that the children's facial features negatively affect their social development; most parents (85%) see their children well accepted by society whereas only 4% of physicians do so; approximately half of the physicians (51%) and parents (41%) thought that after hypothetical facial plastic surgery a child with Down's syndrome may accomplish more socially; the majority of the parents (92%) and physicians (76%) were concerned with the risk of the operation; and only 13% of parents but 44% of physicians indicated that facial plastic surgery should be done on children with Down's syndrome.

Florence Nightingale on public health nursing.

Florence Nightingale, in addition to her role in initiating nursing education programs, was also involved in developing nursing for the sick poor at home and in workhouses through her work for poor law and workhouse reform of the 1860s. Her writings on public health nursing--11 items that were written during a space of more than 30 years--emphasize the need for special training for public health nurses, the importance of sanitation and disease prevention through the nurse's teaching of the sick poor, and the demoralizing nature of poverty and pauperization.
