The Council of Medical Deans, an alliance of Ohio’s seven medical colleges, was founded in 1993 to work collaboratively to meet the health care delivery challenges facing the state. The Council focuses on improving health care through increased cost effectiveness, increased quality and improved access.
The Council is committed to:
- Increasing the number of primary care physicians while ensuring a better distribution of primary care resources throughout the state;
- Offering Ohio’s citizens the opportunity to benefit from newly developed medicines, procedures and technologies through improved coordination of information and resources;
- Searching out new opportunities for concerted programs of biomedical and health services research;
- Emphasizing cost effective delivery of care in the education and training of physicians who will likely be practicing in a marketplace dominated by managed care corporations;
- Seeking to ensure that those populations and programs funded by government receive high quality, accessible, culturally sensitive, cost effective health care; and
- Increasing the number of under-represented individuals prepared for and admitted to Ohio’s medical colleges and practicing in Ohio.
