Publisher Synopsis
"I know the author personally and I have reviewed and read his previous books regarding academic medicine. He is a very meticulous writer and the previous books were very revealing in how academic institutions need to change if they want to survive in this new health care environment. He applies a very nice technique in writing this book. He talks to all the characters involved in the day-to-day operations of the academic institutions and then he gives some insight at the end. In summary, the author has the qualifications to write a book like he proposes and I think as I wrote in my JAMA review of the previous book, the book submitted herein will be part of contemporary modern history of health and research. Can't wait to see it."
