The college presidency is in a state of disarray in the 21st century. In the past, community college presidents could focus their efforts on academic programs, community relations, and donor engagement. College presidents could be the visionary leaders of their communities by providing educational programs to help students transfer to a university or allow them to enter the workforce. The job has become more of a reactionary role in which they are required to make quick decisions in a crisis. They are now forced to focus on cybersecurity, pandemic outbreaks, faculty unions, local and state governance issues, and little-to-no state funding.

Changing Role

Dr Burke raises important concerns about the changing role of the primary care physician, especially in light of our findings that most pediatricians in Washington State take care of a limited number of pediatric inpatients. However, our conclusions may have been misinterpreted. This study does not suggest that pediatricians should not be trained in inpatient care, but that the proportion of residency training dedicated to inpatient care be more commensurate with the needs of the typical practitioner.
