> funding of graduate medical education

Situation: In 1997, representatives of ten teaching hospitals, eight medical schools and the state hospital association came together to assess the current method of funding graduate medical education. They sought to develop an alternative approach that insured financial stability for hospitals, offered training opportunities for resident physicians, and continued to provide quality medical care for citizens of the state.

Result: Working with Cambridge Hill Partners, the committee was able to reach agreement and submit a joint proposal to the state budget office. To achieve this result, member groups had to work through competing needs and disparate perspectives on the issues.
