The achievements of the healthcare industry in the 21st century will depend on the quality of its leadership. In recognition of the contributions of the new generation of healthcare executives, MODERN HEALTHCARE salutes its 1993 Up & Comers. They are a group of healthcare professionals, all 40 or younger, who have refused to be restricted by the ways of the past. Instead, they have contributed to efforts to improve the quality of medical care, expand access to the system and reconfigure the delivery system. The group, whose accomplishments are outlined in the following pages, were selected from a field of nearly 50 candidates nominated by MODERN HEALTHCARE's editorial staff and magazine readers.

But trade associations, research groups and primary-care providers are promoting new programs and new roles for medical education to reverse the trend.
