**Compendium            on Physician Retraining Initiatives**

Introduction:
In 2000, The Office on Women's Health within the U.S. Department of            Health and Human Services convened the National Task Force on Re-Entry into Clinical            Practice for Health Care Professionals. The charge of this task force is to examine            critical issues surrounding re-entry for health professionals and to explore strategies            for addressing these issues. 

The "Compendium on Physician Retraining Initiatives" has            been developed to provide current information on physician retraining programs that were            featured in the 1994 Pew Health Professions Commission publication, "Physician            Retraining As a Strategy to Enhance the Primary Care Workforce: Catalogue of Retraining            Initiatives". The information in this compendium was obtained from the Pew            publication and through personal communication with the directors and staff of the listed            programs. While there are many short-term continuing medical education (CME) programs that            may include re-entry components, this publication solely includes information on long-term            initiatives that are primarily devoted to physician re-entry issues. 

The opinions that are                expressed in this publication are those of the individual programs and do not necessarily                reflect the views of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office on Women's                Health.
