New Council Calls for Immediate Increase in Nurse, Physician Education
PHILADELPHIA -- The Council on Physician and Nurse Supply concluded its first meeting in Philadelphia with the statement that, at current levels of training, nurse and physician shortages will deepen and there will be too few physicians and nurses to meet the future needs of the nation. The council called for immediate efforts to expand nursing and medical education. The council, which is based at the University of Pennsylvania and is supported by AMN Healthcare, a national healthcare staffing organization, expressed concern that persistent shortages of nurses and physicians could have a number of adverse consequences, including the following: *inadequate access to care, particularly in rural and inner city locations.*lack of the necessary capacity for emergency preparedness.*decreased ability to accomplish planned expansions of healthcare services, with attendant negative effects on local and national economies.*increased dependence on foreign nurses and physicians, worsening the brain drain that already is crippling a number of developing countries, while young people in the US are deprived of the opportunity to become high-level health professionals.
China to further regulate privately-run higher education sector
China's education ministry issued a regulation on Friday to exert further control over the country's privately-run higher education sector. "All privately-run colleges and universities must focus on public interests instead of private economic gains," said the regulation published by the Ministry of Education (MOE). Tuition fees charged by privately-run colleges and universities should be "mainly used for educational activities and improvement of campus facilities", according to the regulation. It also required an annual audit of the school's financial records. In the last 20 years, the Chinese government has encouraged privately-run colleges to help accommodate students who have failed the public university entrance exams. A lot of privately-run colleges charge fees two or three times higher than public ones, as they do not receive financial support the government offers to public schools.
