The future of academic health centers. Colleges

摘要

During the past decade and a half, academic health centers (AHCs) have been the subject of a great deal of attention. During the mid-1990s, leaders in the academic medicine community expressed their concerns about the continued viability of AHCs. More recently, both the Commonwealth Fund and the Institute of Medicine established blue-ribbon committees to identify and comment on the major challenges AHCs must address if they wish to maintain a prominent role in society.
