Identifying Ways Graduate Medical Education Can Increase Retention Among the New Generation of Physicians.
Master Essay, University of Pittsburgh.
Abstract
Physician shortage is a critical issue that is impacting the health care delivery systems in the United States. It is important that we use multi-faceted strategies to address this challenge because it impacts the health care delivery system through access to care in some communities and patient overall outcomes. Graduation Medical Education (GME) plays a crucial role in healthcare delivery because it is the initial experience of any graduated medical student. So GME programs need to make sure that they start employing strategies and really take care of the residents entering the practice at the beginning as that can greatly influence a reduction in turnover. And some ways for GME programs to work towards addressing this critical issue and increasing retention among the next generation of physicians are to provide resources for mental health and well-being, have a mentoring program and provide flexibility with schedules. Health care organizations need to increase resources to recruit the next generation of physicians, and more importantly, some changes in the health care delivery system will be needed to retain them.
