The
Doctor Will See Us Now
Tom Campbell, chair of the Department of Family Medicine, says he hopes
to introduce drop-in group medical appointments, or DIGMAs, into his
practice. The technique allows 12 to 20 patients to share a 60- to 90-minute
session with their doctor.

Uncertain
Outlook for Science Funds
"The U.S. Senate has rolled together three bills on science competitiveness
into a single, bipartisan package that may or may not be voted on in
the upcoming lame duck session this November. The House Science Committee
is considering a somewhat similar bill, and passage by the Senate would
help to push federal spending on science and technology forward."
