A regional medical school dean who is still actively practicing at age 66 considers retirement from clinical practice in the context of his own health risks during the COVID 19 pandemic. Disappointments, truly meaningful clinical interactions, and a vision of buzzards provide a matrix for this personal reflection.

Definition Of

Multiple regional medical campuses (RMCs) have been established in North America as part of the effort to train physicians in locations geographically removed from the main medical school campus. RMCs may vary in size, geographic location and mission from the main campus, but scholarly activity by faculty and students is expected and should be promoted on all campuses. If the definition of scholarship is limited to research demonstrated by publication, and academic recognition and advancement is largely based on this criterion, faculty at the RMC who fail to participate may be at a disadvantage. Thus, in addition to expanding research opportunities at the RMC, it is argued that the definition of scholarship needs to be expanded to recognize the accomplishments of RMC faculty. RMC students must also be introduced to biomedical research principles and provided opportunities to engage in scholarly pursuits. Documented participation in scholarly activity may be necessary to make the student more competitive for residency positions. The authors review an expanded definition of scholarship, present an approach to promote faculty and student scholarship, and describe achievable options for scholarly activity on the RMC.

We examined 30-year trends in the financing of allopathic medical schools in the United States using data from the Annual Medical School Questionnaire administered to United States medical schools. We calculated relative proportions for total revenues derived from different sources. Federal support for teaching/training/public service represented 18.8% of total revenues in 1970-1971, but only 0.3% of total revenues in 1998-1999. The proportion of revenues derived from state/localgovernment appropriations also declined across this period. In contrast, the proportion of revenues derived from medical services increased substantially. The proportion of revenues derived from tuition/fees, gifts, and endowments remained constant.

Small rural regional medical school campuses can be challenged to provide the breadth of learning opportunities required in some specialties.  Here we report our initial experience with a telemedicine stroke consultation service that addressed one of our concerns.  We share an essay from the student perspective as well as those of the regional dean and remote neurology faculty and encourage others to try this technology and report their findings.  The authors have no conflict of interest to report and this study was found to be exempt by the Baptist Health Madisonville Internal Review Board.

Background A Regional Medical Campus (RMC) is a medical school campus separate from the main medical school at which a portion of preclinical or clinical training of medical students is carried out. The College of Community Health Sciences of The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama is the Tuscaloosa Regional Campus of the University of Alabama School of Medicine (UASOM). The question we sought to answer with this study is whether or not regional campuses produce general surgeons. Design, Setting and Participants Publicly available data for 6271 graduates of the University of Alabama School of Medicine from the Birmingham, Tuscaloosa and Huntsville campuses from 1974 to 2015 was obtained by using Google Search Engine. The list was expanded to include the data described by the variables in Table 1. Results Between 1974 and 2015, 789 graduates of the University of Alabama School of Medicine assigned to the Birmingham, Tuscaloosa and Huntsville Campuses matched into Categorical Surgery. All three campuses matched similar percentages of students ranging from 10.4% to 13.3% (Table 2). The main campus at Birmingham matched 599 medical students into general surgery and 202 practice general surgery. The Tuscaloosa Regional Campus matched 88 medical students into general surgery and 47 practice general surgery. The Huntsville Regional Campus matched 103 medical students into general surgery and 41 practice general surgery (Table 2). Conclusions A comparable percentage of medical students at each campus matched into general surgery. The main campus contributed a larger absolute number of practicing general surgeons while regional medical campuses contributed a higher percentage of practicing general surgeons. Regional medical campuses contribute significantly to the deficit of general surgeons in this country.

Family Medicine Residents

Introduction: Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) is the largest medical school in the nation, with its main campus located in Indianapolis and eight regional medical campuses (RMC) distributed across the state. In this study, we compared the survey responses of family medicine residents who had attended medical school at the main campus in Indianapolis versus an RMC to see if there were any noticeable differences in their residency training outcomes. Methods: From 2012 to 2017, in the spring of each year, a cross-sectional survey was administered to all final-year family medicine residents graduating from the eleven family medicine residency programs in Indiana. A total of 519 out of 520 residents completed the survey. Of whom, 132 respondents indicated they had graduated from IUSM; 45 reported they had attended the Indianapolis campus and 87 had attended one of the RMCs in the state. Our dataset for this study was comprised of these 132 respondents. Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test were used to compare responses between groups. P-values ≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: In the ACGME competency areas, the residents who attended an RMC versus the Indianapolis campus were significantly more likely to report being fully competent in Medical Knowledge (90% vs. 76%, p = 0.032) and Systems-Based Practice (83% vs. 64%, p = 0.019). Additionally, the residents who attended an RMC compared to their Indianapolis counterparts reported significantly higher rates of being trained to serve rural populations (73% vs. 52%, p = 0.017) as well as being fully competent to serve rural populations (69% vs. 42%, p = 0.003). However, the residents who attended an RMC were no more likely to establish a practice in a rural area than were the residents who attended Indianapolis (18% vs. 17%, p = 0.845). Conclusions: Based on these self-reported data, the family medicine residents who attended an RMC may perceive themselves to be better-prepared in a few core competency areas, as well as in serving rural populations, compared to those who attended the Indianapolis campus. These findings suggest that IUSM’s complex statewide system of medical education may offer some unique advantages in preparing students for residency, especially in family medicine.   None of the authors has a conflict of interest. This study was granted exempt status by our institution’s Institutional Review Board.
