Press Release Summary: Press Release from Primary Research Group, Inc.
Press Release Body: December 5, 2003-Primary Research Group has published MARKETING MEDICAL EDUCATION (ISBN 157440-065-7). The report profiles the efforts of 10 medical institutions to develop and market their education offerings in the United States and overseas. The findings are based on detailed interviews with education directors of major medical schools, medical societies and other organizations offering medical education. The institutions profiled include: the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Family Physicians, Cornell University, the University of South Carolina at Spartanburg, the American Academy of Pediatrics, Cincinnati Children\'s Hospital, Vanderbilt University School of Nursing, Kendle International, Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, and Washington State University.
The report focuses on issues such as: adjusting to the new regime less favorable to the role of pharmaceutical companies in educational marketing, impact of the nursing shortage on medical education, and the impact of the web, medical telematics and distance learning on medical education.
The report finds that medical schools and other vendors of medical education services are aggressively forming partnerships with hospitals, colleges, pharmaceutical companies, medical professional societies and other organizations to enhance their competitiveness and marketing reach. While distance learning has not yet made as great an impact as in many other educational markets, practitioners expect a significant impact over the next five years.
Hot topics on the mind of medical educators include: naturopathic medicine, which is rapidly making inroads in key states, the impact of the aging of the US (and indeed, world) population, and oncology and pharmavognomics.
