We began to realize very recently that we have been doing something which ……may be destined to failure. As far as physicians, we have had limited success… What can we do that maintains that person there? … what can you do to change the pattern of isolation, low status, and lack of consultation that occurs in most of the places we are talking about? We feel that at the present time, that without changing those three things, one will not retain a physician, or any other health professional, beyond that 5 or 7 year limit when most of the statistics say they leave. Particularly the young ones. Robert Shannon, M.D. National Health Service Corps: Overview and New Directions.
