President Obama's administration has committed to significant changes in the current health care system to address three issues: access, cost, and quality. Leaders at academic medical centers (AMCs) must acknowledge the root cause of the problems within the current system, recognize potential change initiatives, contemplate the changing role that AMCs will play in the health care system of the future, and begin to adapt and respond. The underlying root cause of the problem with our health care system is excessive costs. Although many factors contribute to excess costs, the most important factor is overuse of expensive mod...

Instead, he would ask how the country's graduate medical education (GME) system is preparing residents for clinical practice. Such a report is needed because (as concluded by a variety of sources, including recent reports by the Institute of Medicine) GME training must be changed as par...

Academic institutions must have strategies for evaluating research productivity by faculty. Such strategies are useful in guiding resource allocations for the research enterprise, for decisions on faculty promotions, and for broader institutional planning, including program development. Commonly, decisions about research space utilization, and funding to support the space, are considered within the purview of the institutional administration. Peer review, in manuscript and grant submissions and the promotions process, is more commonly used to evaluate the impact of faculty research. The article by Iyengar et al in this iss...
