  • AAAA Statement on Clinical Doctorate Degrees
    AAAA Statement on Clinical Doctorate Degrees The American Academy of Anesthesiologist Assistants is dedicated to maintaining the standards of the profession and the specialty by remaining current with the ongoing changes and emerging needs in health care delivery while promoting the safety and upholding the rights of all patients undergoing medical treatment involving an anesthesia provider. A recent proliferation of entry-level clinical doctorate degrees into the educational models of non-physician providers has caused a commensurate increase in the use of the title “doctor” in the healthcare system. Inappropriately, the title "resident" and "doctor" has been used in the clinical setting by students and graduates of these programs despite their non-physician status. This trend is a recognized source of potential confusion for patients concerning their medical care and has potential negative implications with respect to scope of practice infringement and conflict of interest, decreased professional diversity, increased health care costs, and aggravation of provider shortages. The AAAA believes that the practice of medicine remains the domain of physicians and that the entry-level doctorate degree for the practice of medicine is the MD/DO. Physicians are integral members and leaders of the health care team. In the interest of patient safety, Anesthesiologist Assistants practice exclusively in, promote, and are dedicated to the Anesthesia Care Team as defined by the AAAA and ASA. The AAAA is committed to instilling confidence in the public by encouraging practitioners to adhere to established ethical norms and regional legal constraints. Furthermore, we believe in optimizing the use of all provider resources to deliver health care to everyone.

  • The Effect of Loans on Time to Doctorate Degree: Differences by Race/Ethnicity, Field of Study, and Institutional Characteristics
    Dongbin Kim Cindy Otts The Effect of Loans on Time to Doctorate Degree: Differences by Race/Ethnicity, Field of Study, and Institutional Characteristics Introduction Graduate schools prepare students not only for fu- ture careers in academia, but also for leadership positions in govern- ment, business, non-profit organizations, and other industries. Given the likelihood of doctoral degree recipients being active in research or lead- ership positions, they may have considerable opportunity to influence public policy. In a global, knowledge-driven economy, the need for a highly educated workforce is vital to maintaining the nation’s status and economy. Doctoral-granting institutions, therefore, play an important role in educating academicians and professionals alike who can take the lead in this highly interdependent world. Unfortunately, the nation’s graduate schools fail to fully educate many students who enter doctoral programs because the programs are plagued by high attrition rates. This material is based upon work supported by the Association for Institutional Re- search, the National Center for Education Statistics, the National Science Foundation, and the National Postsecondary Education Cooperative under Association for Institu- tional Research Grant Number 223. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recom- mendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Association for Institutional Research, the National Center for Education Statistics, the National Science Foundation, or the National Postsecondary Education Cooperative. Authors thank the anonymous reviewers for comments and encouragements on ear- lier drafts. Dongbin Kim is an assistant professor in the department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at the University of Kansas.

  • Guidelines for Granting Docent Status
    UPPSALA UNIVERSITY GUIDELINES 11 June 2015 JURFAK 2015/49 Appendix 1 UPPSALA UNIVERSITY DECISION Board of the Faculty of Law 17 October 2013 (revised on 11 June 2015) Guidelines for granting docent status 1. Purpose of appointing docents at the Faculty of Law The purpose of granting the title or position of ‘docent’1 at the Faculty of Law is to clearly recognise a person’s special academic expertise. Docent status may be conferred if it may be beneficial to the research and education. A docent is required to be active in education at postgraduate (research) level in various ways, such as providing proficient supervision and undertaking the role of ‘opponent’ in disputations (public defences of PhD theses). Obtaining docent status therefore presupposes academic qualifications over and above a doctoral degree. Docent status may normally be conferred only in a subject in which education at postgraduate level is provided at the Faculty. A person who has gained docent status at another higher education institution may not be granted docent status in the same subject at the Faculty of Law in Uppsala. 2. Consultation A person wishing to be granted docent status is recommended first to raise the matter informally with the Chair of the Research Committee. The Chair must then consult one or more subject representatives on the matter. Advice not to continue does not constitute any formal impediment to proceeding with the application. 3. Conferral requirements for applicants lacking positions at the Faculty of Law If applicants have no permanent or time-limited appointment at the Faculty of Law, subject representatives must issue special statements of opinion regarding the manner in which the grant of docent status could benefit research and education at the Faculty.

  • Becoming a Business Professor
    Becoming a Business Professor AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, June 2007 Why should you consider becoming a business professor? There are several reasons: job security, an attractive income, flexible work conditions, intellectual stimulation, etc. Given the shortage of individuals holding a doctoral degree in business and increasing demand for their services, now is a particularly good time to become a business professor. How strong is the demand for business professors? In the field of business, the supply of new doctorates is less than the number of positions available. This is due to three major factors: many senior faculty are retiring or will soon retire, there is a significant increase in the number of students seeking degrees in business (a trend likely to continue), and lastly, an insufficient number of students enroll and complete doctoral business programs. According to a survey conducted by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, demand for PhDs’ in business schools rose slightly in 2006 and the overall vacancy rate rose to 6.8 percent. At the same time, planned growth in business faculty positions for 2007 is 4.7 percent. Overall, the shortage of business faculty is predicted to reach 2,400 by 2012. The faculty shortage has resulted in increasing salaries for faculty at business schools. In 2006, the average 9-month salary for an Assistant Professor (entry level) was $88.5k for faculty teaching in management, $117.1k for finance, $106.6k for accounting and $97k for marketing. Combined with additional compensation for activities such as summer teaching and research activities, consulting, executive program teaching, textbook writing, and sponsored papers and presentations, business faculty enjoy very healthy incomes.

  • Part 1 Embarking on a Doctorate
    Part 1 Embarking on a Doctorate 1 What Is a Doctorate and Why Do People Do Them? CHAPTER CONTENTS We start our book by looking at what a doctorate is and why people do them. Although you are probably reading this book because you have already embarked on doctoral study, it can be helpful to take stock of what this means as the process gets under way. The question of what counts as a doctoral degree and the issue of why or when the rather clumsy adjective of ‘doctorateness’ should be attributed to a thesis are recurrent. The debate occupies, and will continue to occupy, students, supervisors and examiners at various stages of a doctoral programme and we return to it in differ- ent chapters of the book. This chapter traces some of the history of doctoral degrees, considers the recent changes in their structure and organisation, and discusses the notion of the ‘profes- sional doctorate’. We have included the personal viewpoints of a small sample of students on why they chose to undertake a doctorate, and the reasons why some choose the so-called professional route whilst others favour the PhD. What are ‘doctorate degrees’? What do we think of when we think of a doctoral degree? The image that comes into our heads might well be a detailed study of a particular topic, supervised by an estab- lished academic with experience of the area; a sustained piece of original research that will hopefully make a difference to our understanding of the field. This would be the basic model of the established Doctor of Philosophy, or PhD degree, which hinges on the production of an extended written work, or thesis.
