Incorporating Race and Gender into the Curriculum
This paper describes a course designed to prepare dual MSW/MPH program students and other students in schools of social work and public health to take active roles in promoting social change to improve the health status of women and people of color. The course embodies the belief that the curriculum must be transformed in fundamental ways, so that non-dominant groups are the central focus. Didactic and experiential teaching strategies are describ…
Premature Adoption and Routinization of Medical Technology
The first part of this article discusses four forces underlying the emergence, adoption, and routinization of medical technology: key societal values, policies of the federal government, reimbursement policies, and economic incentives. It also addresses a set of impacts resulting from increased reliance on medical technology. The second part of the paper assesses three examples of childbirth technology: electronic fetal monitor, obstetric ultraso…

State laws and the practice of lay midwifery
A national survey was conducted to assess the current status and characteristics of state legislation regulating the practice of lay midwives. As of July 1987, 10 states have prohibitory laws, five states have grandmother clauses authorizing practicing midwives under repealed statutes, five states have enabling laws which are not used, and 10 states explicitly permit lay midwives to practice. In the 21 remaining states, the legal status of midwiv…

Foreign Medical Graduates and Equal Access to Medical Care
A.M.A. data, from 1968, are examined to determine the impact of foreign medical graduates (FMGs) on the geographic distribution of physicians in the United States. Doctor/ population ratio data indicate that FMGs have increased the disparity in the availability of physicians' services among states and between urban and rural areas. Thus it is shown that an increase in the number of physicians does not necessarily help to relieve imbalances in the…
The Migratory Flow of Doctors to and from the United States
AMA data were used to estimate the outflow (DECREMENTS) relative to the inflow (INCREMENTS) of foreign-trained doctors in the United States between year end 1966 and 1968. The estimated minimum medical brain gain amounts to roughly 9,000 for the two years or roughly 7,500 if U.S. citizens are excluded. The ratio of INCREMENTS to DECREMENTS is 4:1. Visa information on FMGs (foreign medical graduates) shows that 50 per cent of the INCREMENTS have t…
