TY - JOUR T1 - Academic practice—against all odds: Comment on “physician perception of the impact of productivity measures on academic practice” AU - McMahon LF Y1 - 2012/06/25 N1 - 10.1001/archinternmed.2012.2026 JO - Archives of Internal Medicine SP - 969 EP - 970 VL - 172 IS - 12 N2 - Medicine has evolved dramatically over the past half century. We have witnessed the emergence of the National Institutes of Health as a driver of the research enterprise, the advent of Medicare and Medicaid paying for care that used to be either nonexistent or deemed charity care, the development of “big pharma,” large hospital companies, venture capital investment in health care, and other similar developments.
