Physicians and Social Change

By John Colombotos and Corrine Kirchner

This thoughtful study analyzes research on physicians' attitudes toward political and health care issues, examining how these attitudes vary among different generations and subgroups of the profession, and how these attitudes change over time. The authors discuss variation and change in terms of physicians' socialization experiences, both throughout the life cycle and historically. Among the issues discussed are the organization of practice, methods of reimbursement, task delegation, peer review and the role of government in health care.
