The Jackson & Coker Industry Report is a compendium of healthcare news, commentary, and other important information for busy physicians and hospital / practice administrators. The monthly newsletter incorporates original research and studies supplied to Jackson & Coker by a nationally recognized research firm. http://www.jacksoncoker.com/physician-career-resources/newsletters/default.aspx http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Wed, 9 Apr 2008 09:40:30 -0400 Wed, 9 Apr 2008 09:39:02 -0400 FeedForAll v2.0 (2.0.2.9) unlicensed version http://www.feedforall.com “Politicians and physicians need to work in tandem if the United States is to develop the most effective and efficient healthcare delivery system in the world.” This paraphrase has been repeated by the thousands of physicians that Jackson & Coker speaks to on a daily basis. As a result, Jackson & Coker commissioned a survey to determine the opinions of health professionals, especially practicing physicians, on the topic of healthcare reform. The survey results convey their views and advance the ongoing debate at this point in the presidential election cycle. http://www.jacksoncoker.com/physician-career-resources/newsletters/presidential-candidates-comparision.aspx 25CB1F4B-F057-4B77-ACFC-261B767B20D6 Wed, 9 Apr 2008 09:25:57 -0400 As physician residents anticipate launching their careers, what expectations do they have concerning practice options, starting compensation and length of time associated with their first place of employment? Jackson & Coker commissioned a survey to determine answers to these, and other, critical questions related to residents’ career plans. Current residents can compare their employment expectations and job-search parameters with those of their peers. Residency program directors can incorporate the survey into their educational programs focused on career planning. Hospital administrators can utilize the survey to gauge interest and expectations of 2008-and-beyond residents when designing appropriate recruitment strategies to attract the best candidates for permanent employment. http://www.jacksoncoker.com/physician-career-resources/newsletters/residents-expectations.aspx 85F2AA6B-12B1-4C40-83B1-8CD5FC7B08D6 Wed, 9 Apr 2008 09:37:27 -0400 What motivates physicians to accept a specific practice opportunity involving relocation? The trends today are far different from 20 years ago, when Jackson & Coker first surveyed doctors interested in permanent employment options. http://www.jacksoncoker.com/physician-career-resources/newsletters/relocation-survey.aspx CE85B6EA-9DAE-4C84-8BB7-B64A00B8393B Wed, 9 Apr 2008 09:39:02 -0400
