From Residency to Retirement
From Residency to Retireme nt tells the stories
of twenty American doctors over the last half century, which saw a
period of continuous, turbulent, and transformative changes to the
U.S. health care system. The cohort's experiences are reflective of
the generation of physicians who came of age as presidents Carter
and Reagan began to focus on costs and benefits of health services.
Mizrahi observed and interviewed these physicians in six timeframes
ending in 2016. Beginning with medical school in the mid-1970s,
these physicians reveal the myriad fluctuations and uncertainties
in their professional practice, working conditions, collegial
relationships, and patient interactions. In their own words, they
provide a \"view from the front lines\" both in academic and
community settings. They disclose the satisfactions and strains in
coping with macro policies enacted by government and insurance
companies over their career trajectory. They describe their
residency in internal medicine in a large southern urban medical
center as a \"siege mentality\" which lessened as they began their
careers, in Getting Rid of Patients , the title of
Mizrahi's first book (1986). As these doctors moved on in their
professional lives more of their experiences were discussed in
terms of dissatisfaction with financial remuneration, emotional
gratification, and intellectual fulfillment. Such moments of career
frustration, however, were also interspersed with moments of
satisfaction at different stages of their medical careers.
Particularly revealing was whether they were optimistic about the
future at each stage of their career and whether they would
recommend a medical career to their children. Mizrahi's subjects
also divulge their private feelings of disillusionment and fear of
failure given the malpractice epidemic and lawsuits threatened or
actually brought against so many doctors. Mizrahi's work, covering
almost fifty years, provides rarely viewed insights into the lives
of physicians over a professional life span.

A Systematic Comparative Analysis of Doctor of Education (EdD) Programs
Prospective doctoral students face a daunting challenge choosing between Doctor of Education (EdD) programs and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Education due to programmatic ambiguity, inconsistency, and ill-defined career alignment (Carpenter, 1987; Perry, 2012; Shafer & Giblin, 2008). This qualitative study employed comparative analysis to explore the distinctions between 50 US EdD programs, including completion time, modality, credits, qualifying exam (QE) inclusion and requirements, and dissertation requirements. The theoretical framework used to investigate the root causes and potential outcomes of the EdD and PhD inconsistency included Foucault’s Power Theory (Aguirre Rojas, 2021) and Adam’s Equity Theory (Adams, 1963, 1965). Findings revealed significant differences between EdD programs and between EdD and PhD programmatic features. This data provides valuable insight for prospective students, informs EdD improvement, and urges consistency or standardization for clarity, integrity, and advancement in the field (Fisher et al., 2020; McMahon et al., 2020; Schafer & Giblin, 2008).

Our dissertations, ourselves : shared stories of women's dissertation journeys
\"Our Dissertations, Ourselves: Shared Stories of Women's Dissertation Journeys engages readers in intimate stories from twenty women who wrote doctoral dissertations across nine disciplines--biology, English literature, modern languages, history, mathematics, music, nursing, philosophy, and social work. Their stories bring to light the common experiences, emotions, and challenges in the sometimes overwhelming process of writing of a dissertation amidst a full and complex life. Through dialogue with these women, the authors found that much of the dissertation journey is shaped by the challenges and transformations in the writer's own identity and relationships. The book is not designed to be a prescriptive \"how to\" book, but rather to help women writing dissertations, as well as their advisors, gain new understandings of the often isolating world of the dissertation writer and celebrate the courage and creativity that these twenty women demonstrate\"-- Provided by publisher.

Perceptions of 1st-year MBBS students and 1st-year medical faculties toward AETCOM-based medical curriculum
Background: The field of medical education is constantly evolving to meet the demands of an ever-changing health-care landscape. To address the dynamic challenges faced by medical professionals, medical colleges across the globe are adopting innovative and comprehensive approaches to curriculum design. One such approach that has gained significant attention is the attitude, ethics, and communication (AETCOM) based medical curriculum, which emphasizes developing not only clinical knowledge and technical skills but also ethical values, empathetic communication, and a patient-centric approach among medical students. Aim and Objective: This study aims to record the perceptions of medical students and faculties regarding the effectiveness of AETCOM modules. Materials and Methods: This is an analytical cross-sectional study performed in October 2022 where a pre-validated questionnaire consisting of components of AETCOM was e-mailed to the 1st-year MBBS students of Jhalawar Medical College and teaching faculties of Jhalawar Medical College through Google Forms. The results were analyzed by statistics is a statistical software suite 23.0 (trail version) and the Chi-square test was used for data analysis and P < 0.05 is considered significant. Results: About 95% of students have positive perceptions regarding the mandatory inclusion of AETCOM competencies. However, only 73.3% of faculties have positive perceptions regarding the mandatory inclusion of AETCOM competencies and 26.7% completely disagree with the beneficial role of mandatory inclusion of AETCOM competencies in competency-based medical education curriculum. Conclusions: A hybrid problem-oriented approach is one of the most effective ways for students to promote communication skills, in building doctor-patient relationships and understanding the professional qualities and roles of a physician.
