The United States continues to debate the adequacy of the current and future supply of physicians. This book presents projections of physician supply and requirements for 18 physician specialties using the Physician Supply Model (PSM) and the Physician Requirements Model (PRM) developed by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). This book also focuses on recent supply trends for primary care professionals, including information on training and demographic characteristics. Projections of future supply for primary care professionals, including the factors underlying these projections are examined, as well as the influence of the health care system’s financing mechanisms on the valuation of primary care services. This book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.

The Physician’s Guide to Delusional Infestation


Free Download The Physician’s Guide to Delusional Infestation by Gale E. Ridge
English | April 6, 2024 | ISBN: 3031470311 | 376 pages | MOBI | 14 Mb
This unique, ground-breaking book is a comprehensive clinical guide to the psychiatric disorder of Delusional Infestation (DI). DI is a psychiatric illness characterized by patients holding a monothematic fixed belief of infestations on their skin, body, or immediate environment – a belief that is not supported by objective medical evidence. Delusional beliefs may be shared among individuals, and perceived pathogens include living organisms such as parasitic worms, bacteria, fungi, and insects. Organic or non-organic infiltration by fibres, threads, or other inanimate particles or objects, known or unknown to medical science, are also described by patients. DI is severely underreported because of social stigma, limited physician awareness, and patient doctor-hopping.Written for physicians, the book offers a multidisciplinary, compassionate care model for patients burdened by this pernicious disorder. Other health professionals and administrators will find the work highly valuable, as will professionals in fields such as veterinary medicine, pest management, entomology, parasitology, and information services supported by academia.
