The mobility of medical school faculty has never before been the
topic of a book or comprehensive article. In this seminal study,
Dolores L. Burke explores medical faculty recruitment and
termination policies and procedures. Her findings are based on
personal interviews with 300 faculty members and mail responses
from 49 others. She provides detailed information on constraining
factors in the medical academic marketplace, the impact of public
accountability on medical school faculty, and the essential
character of medical schools as research institutions and providers
of important services to the larger community. Burke concludes that
recruitment policies must be formulated more strategically, that
administrative structures need to be revised, and that the clinical
base of medical research needs to be supported and maintained.
Burke begins her study with an historical overview of medical
education and the labor market for medical school faculty. She then
considers the factors that shape the professional lives of medical
faculty, including the choice of an academic career, the selection
of a medical specialization, and the decision to change
institutions. Useful appendixes discuss her research methodology in
detail, and the numerous excerpts from interviews exemplify current
concerns and opinions of medical school faculty. University
administrators, policymakers, and those interested in medical
education will find this volume an insightful contribution to a
previously neglected area.
