Abstract

In 1999, the American Nurses Association's committee on nursing practice recognized AORN's Perioperative Nursing Data Set (PNDS) as a data set useful in the practice of nursing. The PNDS is a standardized nursing language specific to perioperative settings that is both clinically relevant and empirically validated. This data set is the culmination of six years of effort by AORN and AORN staff members to develop a standardized language that is clearly defined, common to all cases, and consistent across time.

Demographic characteristics of US medical school admission committees.

CONTEXT: Although concerns continue to be raised about the diversity of the US physician workforce, there has never been a nationwide survey of both the sex and underrepresented minority (URM) composition of medical school admission committees. OBJECTIVE: To document US medical school admission committee membership in several demographic domains, including sex and URM (African American, Mexican American, mainland Puerto Rican, Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Native Alaskan) status. DESIGN: Mailed survey. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Deans or directors of admission at 85 US medical schools that were members of the Association of American Medical Colleges (response rate, 70%). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Prevalence of 1999-2000 school-year committee members in demographic categories, such as sex, URM status, physician or medical student status; compensation status. RESULTS: The overall ratio of men to women on admission committees was 1.77 to 1. On average, 16% of committee members were from URM groups. Physicians with URM status comprised 8% of committee membership; 51% of committees had 1 or 0 URM physicians. Seventy-four percent of committees had at least 1 medical student; medical students comprised 15% of total membership. Ninety-one percent of committees operated on a volunteer basis. CONCLUSION: Although representation of women and persons with URM status on medical school admission committees has improved since 1972, URM membership, in particular, remains low.

Trends in US medical school faculty salaries, 1988-1989 to 1998-1999.

Expansion of managed care, intensified price competition, and the introduction of the Medicare Fee Schedule have all affected physician compensation during the past decade. We examine trends in the salaries of medical school faculty, particularly MD clinical faculty, based on a more extensive salary database than has been used previously. Data collected through the Association of American Medical Colleges' Faculty Salary Survey for the academic years 1988-1989, 1993-1994, and 1998-1999 were analyzed, and inflation-adjusted salary growth rates for clinical and basic science faculty during two 5-year periods, 1988-1993 and 1993-1998, compared across faculty ranks, departments, and various school characteristics. The comparison showed that, between 1988 and 1998, the actual median clinical faculty salary increased from $101,000 to $150,000, and the actual median basic science faculty salary increased from $52,000 to $78,000. Bivariate and multivariate analyses showed that the proportionate change in real mean salary (base year, 1988) in each 5-year period was related to department and faculty rank for clinical faculty (P<.001) and faculty rank for basic science faculty (P<.001). The inflation-adjusted annualized compound growth rate of clinical faculty salaries declined from 1.9% per year (1988-1993) to 0.2% per year (1993-1998), while the growth rate of basic science faculty salaries increased from 0.3% per year (1988-1993) to 1.3% per year (1993-1998). From 1993 to 1998, inflation-adjusted annualized salary growth rates in several clinical departments were negative (anesthesiology, -1.1%; obstetrics and gynecology, -0.5%; radiology, -0.4%; and neurology, -0.1%) but were positive for family practice (+2.7%). Significant differences in salary growth related to school characteristics (eg, geographic region, public vs private, community based vs non-community based, and research intensity) were specific to particular study periods. Overall, while actual average medical school faculty salaries are increasing, the real growth rate of average clinical faculty salaries is declining and that of basic science faculty increasing.
