Abstract

A synthesis of the historical background of the councils for specialty certification in Mexico is presented. A comment is made on the role of the National Academy of Medicine and on its relation to the councils. Some statistical data are given on the councils endorsed by the Academy, which up to April 1992 grouped 29,093 physicians throughout the country. Finally, a brief comment is made on the future of these organization in Mexico and the increasing influence they will exert on the regulation of specialized medical practice.

Research institute for nurse scientists responds to the challenge to expand and strengthen research focused on breast cancer in African American women.

In an era where scientifically derived 'evidence' is used as a basis for nursing practice, it is imperative that nurses have a breadth of knowledge relative to the fundamentals of nursing science; knowledge of the current standards of nursing and medical practice; and knowledge of the characteristics, needs, concerns, and challenges of diverse consumer and patient population groups. Yet, while a significant body of 'evidence' that describes the experiences and needs of African American women across the breast care continuum has been generated, research suggests that there is a need to expand and strengthen this body of science. This report presents an overview of a decade of research focused on breast cancer among African American women and describes an initiative funded by the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation to expand and strengthen nursing science that aims to reduce and/or eliminate excess breast cancer morbidity and mortality among African American women. Cancer 2007.
