CONFRONTING A NATIONWIDE PHYSICIAN SHORTAGE OPENINGREMARKS Dear Alumni and Friends, Of late, leaders in medicine have begun to acknowledge the prospect of an extended national shortage of physicians. Many PCOM alumni practicing in underserved urban and rural regions across the country confirm the outlook; they are already experiencing the personal tolls of the shortage, including longer shifts and early burnout. And we all must be concerned with the potential endangerment of patient access to health care, the affordability of care and the quality of care. The cover story of this issue of Digest confronts the matter and raises some viable options. Part of the solution rests in the holistic approach of osteopathic medicine. This issue also marks PCOM’s annual tradition, Founders’ Day. We recognize those who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, loyalty and service to our institution.

Cartwright Reserve Component Liaisons United States Army Reserve Army National Guard ofthe United States Colonel Keith H. Harnack, USAR Lieutenant Colonel Peter Menk, ARNGUS The Judge Advocate General established the Center for Law and Military Operations in 1988 at the direction ofthe Secretary of the Army. The purpose ofthe Center is to examine legal issues that arise during all phases of military operations and to devise training strategies for addressing those issues. It seeks to fulfill this purpose in five ways. First, it is the central repository within The Judge Advocate General's Corps for memoranda, lessons learned, and after-action materials pertaining to legal support for deployed forces. Second, it serves as the Secretariat for the Inter-Service Committee on International Legal Education, which coordinates legal training provided by the separate military services to foreign countries under several statutory programs. Third, it supports judge advocates in the field by disseminating key lessons learned, by building a database of legal issues encountered by previously deployed judge advocates, by creating guides to successful operational law training and evaluation, and by recommending refinements to doctrine for legal operations.
