Resources to support biomedical research in the nation's academic health centers are under considerable threat. Particularly vulnerable is the clinical research enterprise. New strategies and prioritization will be required to maintain the vitality of our clinical research and education enterprise.
This paper describes the impact of managed care on an academic medical center department of psychiatry. Like the pioneers before us, academic medical centers have often traveled wilderness paths, training new generations of psychiatrists and providing research about and new understandings of psychiatric illness; under assault from powerful competitive forces, we have all too often circled the wagons in an attempt to survive what we perceive as an onslaught. We describe the ways in which our academic medical center department of psychiatry has responded to managed care forces, in particular, the impact of managed care on residency training, inpatient services, outpatient psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacological care, and faculty morale. We describe how we have worked closely with our medical colleagues, formed new committees, and initiated forays into capitated arrangements. Despite difficult external circumstances, we have been able to survive, regroup, provide leadership, and continue with renewed purpose.
The expectation that training programs will place more of their physician graduates into primary care has caused internal medicine programs to explore different educational experiences for their residents. One proposal is to transfer the ambulatory training site for residents from the hospital clinic to a community academic practice (CAP) site. We discuss the theoretical aspects, the practical considerations, and our experience with one CAP site, including the problems that have been solved and the problems remaining.
