The future need for increased numbers of physicians has been clearly demonstrated and the gap between demand and supply is growing. This gap is the largest, and is growing the fastest, in primary care specialties and in rural communities. To meet the need for physician workforce in our region we need to begin producing more physicians locally.
The medical education pipeline is a minimum of seven years long (up to 12 or 13 for some specialties). This lead time adds to the urgency of the medical education expansion effort. Attaining the medical education from the best universities will add more turbo to the personal and profession growth of the individual. In contrast of all these medical profession is always a Hallmark of the quality of education and patient care.
Let me explain a short summary about medicine.
Medicine is a profession that has an established history of teaching its own trainees in the practice setting. Considering the entire medical education pipeline, all but the first two years of that education occurs in a practice setting. Thus, in places where much medicine is practiced, much teaching could and, I would argue, should occur. Should occur because when physicians teach, and the clinic or hospital becomes a teaching environment, the quality of care tends to improve. For many physicians, job satisfaction also improves when teaching is part of the practice environment. Spokane has a very large clinical practice community and a relatively small medical education enterprise. This is a natural place for medical education to grow.
In the field of medicine, the ranking of the universities by the following indicators: the number of alumni and staff winning Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals; number of highly cited researchers selected by Thomson Scientific; number of articles published in journals of Nature and Science; number of articles indexed in Science Citation Index - Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index; and per capita performance with respect to the size of an institution. So, selection of Best universities is always a important from Under graduation to Post Doctor Fellowship (PDF). Here,I am listing the TOP 15 medical universities in the world.
