The healthcare system is constantly changing and complex. Various services are available from different healthcare providers, but gaining access to these services has become challenging for people with limited healthcare insurance. Uninsured people present a challenge to healthcare because they frequently postpone or forego treatment.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) advocates for a patient-centered, effective, safe, timely, equitable, and effective healthcare system. The National Priorities...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

5.6K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Workforce Diversity
  • Health Disparities

Background:

  • Physician-patient concordance is linked to reduced healthcare disparities.
  • The medical workforce, particularly in surgery, lacks diversity mirroring the general population.
  • Addressing deficiencies in surgical workforce diversity is crucial for equitable healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the interest of underrepresented in medicine (URiM) college students in surgical careers.
  • To identify barriers faced by URiM students aspiring to enter surgery.
  • To pilot an early recruitment strategy for diversifying the surgical workforce.

Main Methods:

  • Recruited URiM college students to an academic surgery department symposium.
  • Included panels, OR streaming, simulation labs, and career development sessions.
  • Employed mixed methods to analyze cohort characteristics, career interest shifts, and perceived barriers.

Main Results:

  • 58 URiM students attended; 63.8% identified as racial/ethnic minorities.
  • Pre-symposium, 25% considered surgery; post-symposium, 43% intended to pursue surgery (52% undecided but interested).
  • Top barriers: lack of mentors (50%), MCAT concerns (50%), costs (48%), work/life balance (47%).

Conclusions:

  • A low-cost pilot symposium effectively increased interest in surgical careers among diverse students.
  • Identified critical needs for mentorship and support to facilitate entry into surgical fields.
  • Demonstrated potential for early recruitment to diversify the future surgical workforce.
