| cardiovascular surgeon education requirements: The Coming Shortage of Surgeons Thomas E. Williams Jr., M.D., Ph.D., E. Christopher Ellison M.D., Bhagwan Satiani M.D., M.B.A., 2009-09-15 A critical, quantitative look at the future supply and demand of surgical specialists that may foretell rationing of surgical services. The Coming Shortage of Surgeons: Why They Are Disappearing and What That Means for Our Health is the only quantitative analysis of the workforce in orthopedic and thoracic surgery, otolaryngology, obstetrics and gynecology, general surgery, neurosurgery, and urology. It analyzes the demand and supply for these surgeons and gives the causes and remedies for these shortages. The Coming Shortage of Surgeons quantifies the demand for the surgical workforce, then examines the constraints to supply, which include soaring tuition and medical students' debts, the demand for a controllable or scheduled lifestyle, malpractice premium expenses, early retirement, and perhaps the most difficult hurdle to overcome: the provision in the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 that caps all medical and surgical residencies at 1996 levels. |

| cardiovascular surgeon education requirements: Survival Analysis Using S Mara Tableman, Jong Sung Kim, 2003-07-28 Survival Analysis Using S: Analysis of Time-to-Event Data is designed as a text for a one-semester or one-quarter course in survival analysis for upper-level or graduate students in statistics, biostatistics, and epidemiology. Prerequisites are a standard pre-calculus first course in probability and statistics, and a course in applied linear regression models. No prior knowledge of S or R is assumed. A wide choice of exercises is included, some intended for more advanced students with a first course in mathematical statistics. The authors emphasize parametric log-linear models, while also detailing nonparametric procedures along with model building and data diagnostics. Medical and public health researchers will find the discussion of cut point analysis with bootstrap validation, competing risks and the cumulative incidence estimator, and the analysis of left-truncated and right-censored data invaluable. The bootstrap procedure checks robustness of cut point analysis and determines cut point(s). In a chapter written by Stephen Portnoy, censored regression quantiles - a new nonparametric regression methodology (2003) - is developed to identify important forms of population heterogeneity and to detect departures from traditional Cox models. By generalizing the Kaplan-Meier estimator to regression models for conditional quantiles, this methods provides a valuable complement to traditional Cox proportional hazards approaches. |

| cardiovascular surgeon education requirements: Learning from Bristol Great Britain. Department of Health, Bristol Royal Infirmary Inquiry, 2001 The Inquiry was set up in 1998 To inquire into the management of the care of children receiving complex cardiac surgical services at the Bristol Royal Infirmary between 1984 and 1995 and relevant related issues; to make findings as to the adequacy of the services provided; to establish what action was taken both within and outside the hospital to deal with concerns raised about the surgery and to identify any failure to take appropriate action promptly; to reach conclusions from these events and to make recommendations which could help to secure high quality care across the NHS. The Inquiry finds a paediatric open-heart service with high aspirations (including at one stage the ambition to become a centre for heart transplantation) overreaching itself, given its limitations, and failing to keep up with the rapid developments elsewhere in paediatric cardiac surgical care (PCS) during the late 1980s and early 1990s. It reports a mortality rate up to double that elsewhere at certain times, with some 30-35 deaths more than would have been expected. Individual failings, poor teamwork and communication locally, coupled with general failings in the NHS, combined to create an unsafe environment for PCS in Bristol. The Inquiry makes some 200 recommendations, designed to advance the central notion of a patient-centred healthcare service committed to continuous improvement. The need for a change in the culture of the NHS is of prime concern.The recommendations cover: needs of very sick children; safety; competence of healthcare professionals; organisation within hospitals; standards of care; openness; monitoring of clinicians. The Inquiry recommends the development of national standards for all aspects of the care and treatment of children with congenital heart disease (CHD). |
