Download or read book The Rural Health Care Dilemma written by Eron G. Manusov and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why not practice medicine in rural America? In many areas, the answer is simple: isolation from colleagues, lack of technology and skewed expectations of how a physician must practice in a rural community. And so, we have 25 percent of Americans living in rural areas, but only 10 percent of physicians choosing to practice there. Dr. Eron G. Manusov has a plan showing how, one by one, those reasons for avoiding a rural practice can be turned around to point the way toward improved health care for millions. In The Rural Health Care Dilemma, Dr. Manusov explores the issues of prevention and treatment in rural America. He spotlights what both physicians and patients need in terms of infrastructure, mainstream technologies and medical expertise. He lays out what it will take to improve the education, recruitment and retention of rural physicians. The reader will fully understand the difficulties and joys of medical practices in isolated, rural communities. Author Bio: ABOUT THE AUTHOR-Dr. Eron G. Manusov is a family physician, writer, musician and artist who spent 25 years in rural and military medicine that focused on medical education, research and leadership. His journeys took him from Japan and Korea, to Germany and Hungary, but he has dedicated his career to the education of healthy, compassionate and skilled physicians. He is the medical director of a corporation that provides healthcare to indigent patients, minorities and those who require care for HIV and substance abuse. He lives with his wife, Nancy, and children in rural North Carolina.

The first panel of the workshop, with four speakers representing leaders in rural health care, examined national policies regarding the education of health professionals and the barriers to improvements. The panel emphasized personal sacrifices of rural health professionals, the need for professional support, medical students specialty choices, financial support for family medicine programs and primary care services, and improvement of rural manpower distribution. The second panel, consisting of five speakers, presented information on specific exemplary model programs that link medical education and training to rural areas. The appendix includes information about educational and community programs that address the health care needs of rural areas, articles addressing medical education reform, and written testimonies from various sources.

Book Synopsis Rural Health in the United States by : Thomas C. Ricketts
Download or read book Rural Health in the United States written by Thomas C. Ricketts and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-10-07 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the 61 million people who live in rural America have limited access to health care. Almost a quarter of the nation's population lives in rural places yet only an eighth of our doctors work there. Sponsored by the U.S. Office of Rural Health Policy, this unique book provides the facts about this imbalance and interprets them in the context of government programs that promote the placement of doctors and the operation of hospitals in rural places while paying them less to treat Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. The authors' comprehensive analysis of rural health care delivery shows where there are differences in rates of death and disease between rural areas using maps, graphs, and plain-English descriptions. The book provides a thorough look at health care in rural America, giving a snapshot of how doctors, hospitals, and technology are unevenly distributed outside the nation's metropolitan areas.

Book Synopsis A Doctor for Rural America by : Barbara Barksdale Clowse
Download or read book A Doctor for Rural America written by Barbara Barksdale Clowse and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Frances Sage Bradley (1862–1949) was a mediating force between the urban world of her own education and experience, and that of rural Americans. As a widow with four young children, Bradley trained as a doctor and became one of the first women to graduate from Cornell University Medical School. During the height of the Progressive Era, she left her private practice to do significant field work for the newly-created Children's Bureau, working mainly in the Appalachian South. In this timely biography, Barbara Barksdale Clowse details the story of this physician, reformer, and writer, and her efforts to extend access to healthcare to rural communities. Clowse describes Bradley's important innovations in the field of public health, including physical exams or "conferences" for children and infants which simultaneously educated parents and local medical practitioners, and her advocacy for improved nutrition and modern medicine in rural areas. Finally, Clowse illustrates how Bradley's work regarding maternal mortality and morbidity in America was instrumental in demonstrating the need for what became the Sheppard–Towner Act of 1921, also known as the Maternity and Infancy Protection Act. A century has passed since Bradley lived out her commitment to social justice in healthcare, yet many of the issues that she faced still plague the United States today. A Doctor for Rural America presents a balanced portrait of an overlooked pioneer and her work to establish healthcare as an obligation that the government owed to its citizens.

Book Synopsis Medical Practice in Rural Communities by : MUTEL
Download or read book Medical Practice in Rural Communities written by MUTEL and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the urbanization of the United States, the rural population exceeds 60 million, and the provision of health services to these people remains a difficult problem. This volume addresses one crucial aspect of that problem-the task of attracting physicians to rural medical practice. It does this by carefully analyzing the special health problems and the general features of rural society in which the young doctor would be working. Rural health needs have been recognized in America for wen over a century. In response, many organized health programs have, in fact, improved the situation. Compared to 1930, the present coverage of rural counties by public health agencies has been greatly extended. Thanks to the Hill-Burton Act of 1946, the availability of general hospital beds has become virtually equalized among the states with varying degrees of rurality. Federally subsidized and locally organized health programs are serving migratory workers, American Indians, the people of Appalachia, and other rural groups. Voluntary health insurance covers millions of rural families, even though the extent of this economic protection is less than among urban families. Medicare helps to protect the rural aged, as it does the urban. Medicaid finances health services for the rural poor far more effectively than the purely local welfare programs of 1930. There is no question, then, about the improvement in rural health resources and services in America over the last 50 years.
