THE VANISHING PHYSICIAN-SCIENTIST? (THE CULTURE AND POLITICS OF HEALTH CARE WORK)

Book ID/图书代码： 03360009B34209

English Summary/英文概要： Throughout history, physicians have played a vital role in medical discovery. These physician-scientists devote the majority of their professional effort to seeking new knowledge about health and disease through research and represent the entire continuum of biomedical investigation. They bring a unique perspective to their work and often base their scientific questions on the experience of caring for patients. Physician-scientists also effectively communicate between researchers in the "pure sciences" and practicing health care providers. Yet there has been growing concern in recent decades that, due to complex changes, physician-scientists are vanishing from the scene.

In this book, leading physician-scientists and academic physicians examine the problem from a variety of perspectives: historical, demographic, scientific, cultural, sociological, and economic. They make valuable recommendations that--if heeded--should preserve and revitalize the community of physician-scientists as the profession continues to evolve and boundaries between doctors and researchers shift.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 醫療研究的未來曙光：康乃爾大學醫學院院長執筆，囊括全美主要醫學院專家觀點！

縱觀歷史，在人類醫學發展的過程中，醫學研究工作一直扮演著關鍵角色。
投身研究工作的醫師，基於自身的臨床經驗，將畢生精力投入到疾病研究之中《如台灣的杜聰明醫生》，透過他們持續不斷的研究工作，生物醫學才取得近代的突破發展。更重要的是，他們扮演著醫學研究與實際醫療服務之間的「橋樑」角色。
但，近數十年來，基於種種複雜的原因，醫學研究工作者這一特殊職業正逐漸爲人們所遺忘，而這種現象引發許多醫界人士的關切。
在本書中，作者透過歷史、統計、科學、文化、社會以及經濟等眾多面向，邀請多位知名醫療研究員與學者，針對此一問題進行審視。他們提出許多寶貴觀點，談論到這一行業的未來發展，以及未來實務醫療與研究領域間的融合與合作。
如果這些建議能夠付諸實現，無疑將扭轉當下的失衡情況，為醫療研究帶來另ㄧ波曙光。(AW & KC)

Awards/获奖情况："In The Vanishing Physician-Scientist?, Dr. Andrew I. Schafer makes the case that truly effective translational research can go from bench to bedside and back again in dynamic fashion; he describes a view of the future in which physician-scientists will be members of research teams. This book does an excellent job of placing physician-scientists in historical context and highlighting the fact that the problem of the endangered physician-scientist is not a new one. The Vanishing Physician-Scientist? outlines a long-term problem that is likely to get worse, and, most important, provides a number of possible solutions.Given the current constraints―on NIH-funded research and an understandable retrenchment for funding by industry and foundations―its descriptions of strategies that have been successful in the past and are likely to be successful in the future are more valuable than ever."―Glenn Bubley, MD, Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital and Harvard Medical School
