Med Center tries to draw students to rural medicine

practice in Kansas that have a great need," he said.
Clawson said faculty members might encourage students to pursue their fields because they had found them rewarding.
But the bill has caused Med Center administrators to move quickly toward a solution to the problem.
Ehrich said he had scheduled a vote on the bill Wednesday but received a visit from the Med Center's associate budget director, Marlin Rein, who urged him to postpone the decision.
The letter requested that a vote on the bill be delayed until mid-March, when the academy and the Med Center hoped to introduce substitute recommendations.
"We have an ally in the Kansas Academy," said Rein, who has met with academy representatives twice.
Rein said that the University had studied new incentives for primary-care physicians for the past two months, but that the bill had created a receptive audience at the Statehouse.
Clawson also denied that the Med Center had begun investigating ways to influence students toward family practice as a result of the bill.
"To say we are doing all of this in response to a bill, although I know the sponsors would like to think so, is incorrect," he said.
But Clawson said some time frames had been stepped up in order to make recommendations in March.
"If that bill were passed, the university would lose a number of people looking for other positions," he said. "A lot of people at the University would be very unhappy."
The Med Center already has a number of programs in place to encourage students to enter primary care in rural areas.
Recipients of the Kansas Medical Scholarship have tuition paid in return for a period of service in a rural community.
Another program, the Rural Health Bridging Program, pairs physicians in primary-care residencies with communities. The community provides a stipend for physicians during their residences in exchange for service in the community.
Although lawmakers think these programs are not doing the job, Lasseter is not convinced that improving KU programs would wipe out the health care shortage.
"The problem is systemwide," he said. "It is not just the one institution."
Lasseter said he intended to remain in Atchison after the required payback period had expired.
But he said that unless the state came up with financial incentives for rural practice, it could not expect young doctors to choose the same path he had.
"I look at this community, and it's hard to turn away," he said. "Whenever I consider these offers, it is very difficult because I believe in what I'm doing here. But at the same time, when you are raising a family, you can't help but be tempted."

Sonogram expert testifies in fraud trial
The Associated Press
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Five patients of a doctor accused of fraud were pregnant when he said they were, contrary to prosecutors' contentions, another doctor testified Monday.
However, the women may well have been less far along in their pregnancies than Dr. Cecil Jacobson said, testified Dr. Stuart Campbell, a songram expert from London. Campbell examined about 180 pictures from ultrasound examinations conducted by Jacobson.
In four other cases, Campbell also said he had determined that the patients were pregnant.
Campbell testified as the trial for Jacobson, a former Washington area fertility specialist accused of fathering as many as 75 of his patients' children, began its third week in U.S. District Court.
Jacobson is charged with 52 counts of fraud and purity injury he used his sperm to inseminate unknowing patients and used hormone injections to convince some women they were pregnant when they weren't.
