...knows? Maybe this won’t work out the way I’ve planned. Maybe I won’t end up writing commercials or working in the obesity hospitality sector and these notes will just go to waste. But just maybe I’ll end up writing a book about a guy who makes commercials for this very hotel chain. Who knows which random thought will have been worth jotting down...
...Wertheim College is not the first U.S. medical school to train community-based primary-care physicians. (Florida State University's medical school, for example, lets its third-year students do clinical work in rural areas of the state's Panhandle.) But it's considered the first to make that mission its raison d'être. Under its NeighborhoodHELP (Health Education Learning Program) scheme, which will forge permanent relationships with underserved zones of Miami, students are assigned a household along with counterparts from fields like nursing, social work and public health. Rock developed the idea with FIU's Dr. Pedro Greer...
...many people are opting to be radiologists scoring $500,000 a year instead of general practitioners pocketing $150,000. Over the summer, President Obama announced the Public Service Student Loan Forgiveness Program, which erases big chunks of debt for medical students who do 10 years of primary-care work at clinics in communities like those the FIU students are serving.

Experts also insist that ways have to be found to make family-physician salaries...
...which has 43 students in its first class (chosen from more than 3,000 applicants) and hopes to train almost 300 per year. One of them, Pete Leahy, 23, a University of Notre Dame graduate, had planned to become a pediatric oncologist. But after taking a year off to work at a health clinic for the poor in Puerto Rico, he's leaning toward primary care. "After that experience," says Leahy, "I think I'd rather be the doctor who impacts a patient's health behavior before it ends up impacting the health-care system." It might...
...Evangelical supporters. But there are others, including well-known supporters of Israel like David Makovsky of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, who think a breakthrough is possible. Makovsky's idea is to start with what seems the toughest problem: the Israeli settlements. "It is actually possible to work out a land swap that would satisfy both sides," he says. "I've done the maps: a 4% land swap would do it. Eighty percent of Israeli settlers live on 5% of the West Bank. You could give the Palestinians some very attractive land in return for those settlements." That...
