		<title>Time for Change in For-Profit Education</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The most overused political phrase – “it’s time for a change” &#8211; may be finally growing some teeth when it comes to private for-profit education. The Federal Department of Education has taken a hard line position with regards to reigning in private for-profit schools, such as ITT and the University of Phoenix, that have profited [...]]]></description>

		<title>The BLUEPRINT for health care reform is in the May 2010 issue of Health Affairs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Health Affairs journal is the premiere journal for healthcare policy. If it appears in Health Affairs then it is generally a done deal.

		<title>Has CAN figured out how to place acupuncture in the mainstream?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Community Acupuncture Network: Grass Roots Needling Therapy The marriage of working class politics and acupuncture might on the face of it seem an unlikely match. After all, working class politics and grass roots organization conjures images of class struggle, marching in the streets and fighting for one or another form of liberation. Images of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Healthcare reform will launch a Tsunami in demand for treatment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The healthcare reform vote is a victory for progressives but it is not the start of a radically changed healthcare system free of profit-driven stakeholders. One of the problems with the current system will become clear within a few years. I believe the sudden increase in the number of insured persons will demonstrate the severe [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Health 2.0 is here. Thanks to a December 2008 grant award I get to explore this new enterprise with my team of consultants on behalf of an important medical center that could use some help reaching out to a high risk population.

		<title>Venice Family Clinic receives award for innovative Chronic Pain Clinic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Venice Family Clinic (VFC) is a long-standing community clinic with two locations in the Santa Monica and Venice neighborhoods of Los Angeles, California. Many people are surprised to learn that VFC serves a diverse and poor population of Westside adults, women and children. After all, the Westside is far better known for movie people and [...]]]></description>

		<title>PAs and LAcs: is there a model here?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the risk of reinforcing the &#8220;us&#8221; versus &#8220;them&#8221; stereotype (i.e., Eastern versus Western medicine) I describe my recent interaction with two primary care physicians who support acupuncture in principle and action. Despite this, they were flummoxed with a proposal I made to them that LAcs (Licensed Acupuncturists) should work as primary care providers (PCPs) [...]]]></description>

		<title>California Acupuncture Board turns blind eye to regulatory role</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I attended the most recent meeting of the California Acupuncture Board (June 20 2008) where a new Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (AOM) college received temporary approval despite the college President&#8217;s statement that his occupational goal for his students was &#8220;training missionaries&#8221;.

		<title>Educational standards&#8230;a professional matter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am always surprised when I encounter professionals unfamiliar with how their profession is governed. The common arrangement is to establish three organizations that represent the profession&#8217;s principal internal stakeholders: the association of colleges (CCAOM), the association of licensed professionals (AAAOM), and the accreditation body (ACAOM). The public interest is represented by the state (or [...]]]></description>
