Full textObjective: This dissertation analyzed one state's physician assistant (PA) workforce focusing on recruitment and retention. The goal was to identify factors associated with Indiana PAs working in medically underserved, rural, and primary-care medicine. The study evaluated characteristics of PAs who chose initially to work in rural versus urban areas and who have continued to do so. From the literature and as a result of study outcomes, a framework was developed, upon which recommendations were made for effective methods of increasing and retaining the number of PAs in primary care within rural areas. Subjects: Data were obtained from applications for PA licensure submitted to the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency between the years 2000 and 2010. Additionally, PAs working in Indiana who graduated during this period were surveyed. Methods: Descriptive statistics quantitatively defined the Indiana PA workforce. Survey questions to this population focused on provider upbringing, education, and specialization interest, as well as recruitment and retention to rural, primary-care, or underserved areas. Chi Square tests and logistic regression were used, where appropriate, to examine the influence of independent variables on the choice of practicing in rural, primary-care, and medically underserved areas. Based on these responses, recommendations were developed for strategies to increase the supply of physician assistants in rural areas. Findings: Among applicants for PA licensure in Indiana from 2000 to 2010, there were more females (70%) than males (30%), and the median age of applicants was 35 years. Respondent PAs predominantly worked in counties that were designated by the United States Department of Agriculture as metropolitan (91.3%) and largely in areas designated as Code 1 according to Rural-Urban Continuum Codes, the highest level of urbanicity. Additionally, more PAs worked in a specialty area (79%) than in primary care (21%). Chi Square analyses revealed significant relationships (p < .05) between primary care and gender; educated outside of Indiana and working in an underserved area; and being born in a rural area and choosing to practice in a rural area. Binary logistic regression identified that female gender was predictive of the decision to practice in primary care, and birth in a rural area was predictive of current rural practice. In reflecting upon their first employment following training, 70 percent of respondents believed that the job offer was neither directly nor indirectly a result of having completed a clinical rotation at that particular site, or having worked with a particular preceptor, during their experiential training. A relationship was found between the respondents' initial job location being urban and living in a metro location at the time of high school graduation. Finally, educational debt influenced males' initial practice location and specialty but did not similarly affect choice of practice among females. Conclusions: There were several important characteristics of recently licensed PAs in Indiana that were identified in this study. Educational institutions, policymakers, and communities may increase recruitment and retention of PAs to rural and primary-care practice by actively identifying PAs who possess selected characteristics for the area of interest and providing incentives to reduce educational debt.

Full textDue to changes in economic and social climate, including a decrease in state and federal funding, Associate's Colleges began to supplement their search for funds by fund raising. Associate's Colleges' fund raising has evolved and the purpose of this research was to scrutinize philosophies, perspectives, practices, relationships, and experiences of collegiate staff involved in institutional fund raising in large rural Associate's Colleges in a southeastern state in order to promote prosperity in resource development. The researcher's objective was to endeavor to document the roles of institutional actors in the fundraising process, their training, background, organization, and how their tactics differ when approaching corporations and individuals. In addition, the study looked at governance of foundations and fundraising staff specifics (job descriptions, student use, size related to funds generated). This included the roles of governance, philosophies, resources, methods of procuring funds, and reporting. This study displayed differences and similarities in fund raising practices at large rural Associate's Colleges in a southeastern state and described the setting in which these events took place. The participants in this study were ten fund raisers connected with Associate's Colleges of varying ages, educational backgrounds, and fund raising experience. Data for the study were derived from semi-structured interviews with each fund raiser, a foundation meeting observation, and a review of fund raising related documents. Using basic qualitative methods, the researcher conducted a thematic analysis of the data which enabled him to organize that data into manageable segments where he coded it. This process enabled the researcher to establish connections between the collected data and the research questions. Three major themes emerged from data analysis: (a) Relationship Management is Fund Raising; (b) Relationship Management is a Product of Resources and Communication; (c) Profitable Fund Raising Involves Maximizing the Potential of Four Factors: Participants, Environment, Experiences, Philosophy. Moreover, the study answered how large rural Associate's Colleges in a southeastern state developed fiscal resources in a climate of reduced state and federal funding.

The subject of this thesis is a single participant-observer case study which demonstrates the feasibility of integrating research activity within the daily routine of patient care in a busy rural general practice. Case studies were conducted over a period of 10 years in the town of Port Lincoln, South Australia. The research questions were generated by cues or uncertainties arising in routine clinical practice and included the disciplines of epidemiology, clinical audit, randomised drug trials and meta-analysis. The author concludes that research can be an integral part of routine patient care and should be promoted as part of a strategy to improve the research culture of general practice.

McFayden, Lisa. "An examination of the structural and political barriers preventing permanent resident overseas-trained doctors from working as general practitioners in rural New South Wales." Thesis, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/1959.13/29762.
Full textThis thesis explores the barriers that are preventing large numbers of permanent resident overseas-trained doctors (PROTDs) from working as general practitioners (GPs) in rural New South Wales (NSW). It focuses specifically on doctors from non-English speaking backgrounds who are permanent residents of Australia or Australian citizens, and who migrated to Australia for reasons other than employment. This thesis explores the views and perceptions of PROTDs and does not specifically consider the views of other stakeholders. Archival, qualitative and quantitative research techniques have been used to determine the suitability of the policies and practices governing the appointment and registration of PROTDs in NSW, and to identify any policy changes required. This research demonstrates that the policies governing medical registration in NSW have frequently been driven by political factors, and have, at times, been used to control the size of the medical workforce. As a consequence of these policies, many PROTDs have been prevented from working as a doctor in NSW. Of particular concern is the lack of training or clinical experience available to PROTDs and their difficulties preparing for, and passing, the Australian Medical Council (AMC) examinations. The lack of accurate information regarding the requirements and opportunities for medical practice in NSW is also a major problem. PROTDs in NSW are unable to get the training and support they need to meet the requirements for medical registration in NSW and are rapidly losing their confidence, and their clinical skills. Not all PROTDs are going to have, or be able to acquire, the skills and knowledge required for general practice in rural NSW. However the need for additional doctors is sufficiently great to warrant a proactive approach from governments and relevant agencies. In the seven years it has taken to complete this research, most of the discriminatory aspects of the assessment and registration of PROTDs in NSW have been removed. However the legacy of previous policies and practices remains and a large number of PROTDs remain out of the medical workforce.

Full textThis master’s thesis is a case study that uses a sociological perspective to seek the reasons of the persistent conflict between the Uzeste Musical festival and a village of 450 inhabitants going by the same name, and last for the past 35 years. Based on a fieldwork, it combines an ethnographical approach and semi-structured interviews within this southwest village of France. The analysis mixes in vivo an ethnographical description of the conflict to different theoretical elements. The field and the practical sense theory of Bourdieu, in addition to the Boltanski & Thévenot’s pragmatic theory will help us understand the true implication of this problematic cohabitation. Through discussions with the different actors of the conflict rise the very reasons why this jazz festival seems foreign to the structures and the culture of the village, thus not being accepted by its inhabitants. Furthermore, it demonstrates the way the actors will try to redefine the conflict itself with familiar terms, even thought the latter seems unsustainable. This position allows them to put the conflict into perspective like it was always a part of the village’s history, thus redefining a way to cope with this problematic cohabitation.
