Many Older Doctors Plan to Phase out Their Practice
The results of a new survey indicate that 48 percent of physicians between 50 and 65 years of age are planning to reduce or end their clinical practice in the next 1 to 3 years.The findings also suggest that many older physicians believe that their younger counterparts do not have the work ethic they do.
The survey,which was conducted by Merritt Hawkins&Associates,a Texas-based physician search and consulting firm,suggests that many older physicians are simply unhappy with the chan- ges that have taken place in medicine over the years.
"When Baby Boom doctors entered medicine they had control over how they practiced and the fee they charged .But the rules changed on them in mid-stream and now many are looking for a ticket out."Mark Smith,executive vice president of Merritt Hawkins&Associates,said in a state-ment.
"Our study is the only one I am aware of that examines the career plans of physicians in the 50-65 age group."This age group represents more than one-third of all physicians in the U.S. If they stop working in the coming years,it will have a"significant impact"on the overall supply of physicians,Smith told Reuters Health.
The results of the survey ,which included 1,170 respondents（调查对象）,show that 24 per-cent of older physicians are planning to leave clinical practice all together in the next 1 to 3 years. Specifically,14 percent said they were planning on retiring,7 percent said they were looking for a medical job a non-patient care setting,and 3 percent said they were seeking a job in a non-medi-cal field.
For those physicians not leaving clinical practice,many said they would make changes to re- duce the number of patients they treat. For instance,12 percent said they would begin working part-time,8 percent said they planned to stop taking new patients or markedly reduce their patient load,and 4 percent expressed a desire to work on a temporary basis.
When asked about the work ethic of physicians entering practice today,68 percent of the re-spondents said that these younger doctors are not as dedicated or as hard working as physicians who entered practice 20 to 30 years ago.
Fifty-seven percent of older physicians said they would not recommend medicine as a career to their own children.Similarly,44 percent said they would not select medicine as a career if they were starting out today.
" The most ominous（不祥的）finding is that about one half of physicians surveyed plant to ei-ther abandon patient care in the next 1 to 3 years,or significantly reduce the number of patients they see."Smith said."The U .S.already is facing a widespread shortage of physicians,should ol- der,‘workhorse’physicians choose to opt out of patient care access to medical services will be fur-ther restricted."

if many older physicians stop working in the coming years,Americans will have______.
A: even less access to medical services
B: even better patient care
C: a shortage of younger physicians
D: more job opportunities

Medical Education

In 18th-century colonial America,those who wanted to become physicians either
learned as personal students from established professionals or went abroad to study in the
traditional schools of London,Paris, and Edinburgh.Medicine was first taught formally by
specialists at the University of Pennsylvania,beginning in 1765,and in 1767 at King's
College(now Columbia University),the first institution in the colonies to give the degree of
doctor of medicine.Following the American Revolution,the Columbia medical faculty
(formerly of King's College)was combined with the College of Physicians and Surgeons,
chartered in 1809,which survives as a division of Columbia University.
In 1893 the Johns Hopkins Medical School required all applicants to have a college
degree and was the first to afford its students the opportunity to further their training in an
attached teaching hospita'.The growth of medical schools attached with established
institutions of earning went together with the development of proprietary（私营的）schools of
medicine run for personal profit,most of which had low standards and poor facilities.In
1910 Abraham Rexner,the American education reformer,wrote Medical Education in the
United States and Canada,exposing the poor conditions of most proprietary schools.
Subsequently，the American Medical Association(AMA)and the Association of American
Medical Coleges(AAMC) laid down standards for course content,qualifications of
teachers,laboratory facilities,connection with teaching hospitals,and licensing of medical
practitioners（开业医师）that survive to this day.
By the late 1980s the U.S. and Canada had 142 4-year medical colleges recognized by
the Liaison（联络）Committee on Medical Education to offer the M. a degree ; during the
1987-88 academic year,47,262 men and 25,686 women entered these colleges and an
estimated 11,752 men and 5,958 women were graduated.Graduates,after a year of
internship（实习期）,receive licenses to practice if they pass an examination given either by
a state board or by the Nafional Board of Medical Examiners.

The AMA and AAMC established standards so as to
A:recruit more students.
B:set up more schools of rnedicine.
C:ensure the quality of medical teaching and practice.
D:prevent medical schools from making huge profits.
