Critics say test questions often contain inherent bias that more privileged children are better equipped to answer and that wealthier students typically take expensive prep courses that help boost their scores, which many students can’t afford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was the argument in a lawsuit filed against the UC system in December on behalf of some high school students and nonprofit groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A highly anticipated report from a UC faculty task force recommended in February that the SAT and ACT be retained for admissions until a new test is developed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report found that standardized tests are better predictors of a student’s success in their first year at UC schools than their high school grade point average. The tests are also a more accurate measure of first-year retention and graduation rates than high school grades, the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The test requirement is moot at the moment.

Critics say test questions often contain inherent bias that more privileged children are better equipped to answer and that wealthier students typically take expensive prep courses that help boost their scores, which many students can’t afford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was the argument in a lawsuit filed against the UC system in December on behalf of some high school students and nonprofit groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A highly anticipated report from a UC faculty task force recommended in February that the SAT and ACT be retained for admissions until a new test is developed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report found that standardized tests are better predictors of a student’s success in their first year at UC schools than their high school grade point average. The tests are also a more accurate measure of first-year retention and graduation rates than high school grades, the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The test requirement is moot at the moment. With California high school campuses closed because of the coronavirus pandemic, UC has made the tests optional for students who want to attend the fall 2021 sessions.

He’d workout, he says, then just lay in bed. Not an ideal place to be when trying to study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re just in fight or flight mode. It cuts off memory, cuts off everything else,” said UC Berkeley sociology major Ngoc, who’s formerly incarcerated, too, and asked to be identified only by his middle name because he’s trying to steer clear of people from his past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Ngoc, home confinement dredges up trauma from prison, but it also triggers feelings from a violent and lonely childhood in the foster system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Home has always been a scary place,” he said, explaining that he’s had to learn to be diligent about keeping stress out of his living space. Before, he took pains never to study at home because he said his brain struggles to differentiate between academic pressure and the stressors he experienced as a child.\u003cbr>\n[aside tag=\"resource\" label=\"coronavirus resources\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since transferring from a community college, Ngoc has embraced the rigors of academic life at UC Berkeley and thrived: He’s racked up scholarships and awards, including a public service award from the chancellor. He’s a research fellow, a member of multiple committees in his department, and he created a program for underrepresented students on campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this is different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ngoc, Medina and Mayo all say UC Berkeley’s \u003ca href=\"https://news.berkeley.edu/2020/03/20/coronavirus-response-grading-policies-for-the-spring-semester/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">move to pass/no pass grading\u003c/a> is a relief. Still, they want their professors to recognize the toll this is taking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re this close to mental breakdown you’re very scared of taking on more than you can handle, because I’ve given up on school before; I’ve given up on life before,” Ngoc said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why he’s advocating for professors to give non-traditional students more flexibility in this moment. He wants the option to be graded only on work done before the start of this crisis. “We’re not asking to be equal,” he said. “We’re saying be equitable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11813280\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11813280 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Underground-Scholars1-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Underground-Scholars1-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Underground-Scholars1-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Underground-Scholars1-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Underground-Scholars1-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Underground-Scholars1-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Underground-Scholars1-536x402.jpg 536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/Underground-Scholars1.jpg 1333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Daniela Medina and fellow Berkeley Underground Scholars with Angela Davis (center) at their May 2019 graduation. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Daniela Medina)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>With the support of elected student representatives, Ngoc helped draft a template letter which students can present to their professors and department heads. “Continued learning, under these current circumstances, can/will exacerbate mental health issues,” it reads in part, “… allow them to focus solely on their well-being for the rest of the semester.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, the university said the transition to a pass/no pass option takes into account the stresses and challenges of the moment in an equitable way, and that students seeking additional consideration should work individually with instructors to find solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ngoc is just hoping those instructors are willing to listen. “We didn’t come this far to fail,” he said. “So whatever our professors tell us at this point, we’re gonna do.

But for students living in the school’s family housing, Khan said, “there was no information sent out whatsoever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The school eventually told students in University Village family housing they can get out of rental contracts early and won’t be charged for late rental payments.

UC Berkeley Chancellor Carol Christ recently announced a freeze on hiring and asked faculty and staff to limit expenses. Revenue is down because of canceled housing and dining contracts, sports events and campus performances, plus the school just poured money into tech infrastructure to support online learning. All this is estimated to cost more than $100 million, a figure expected to rise as the shutdown continues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, parenting students are organizing to help themselves. At UCLA, a student parent helped create \u003ca href=\"https://www.lacovidvolunteers.org/\">a volunteer network\u003c/a> to provide childcare and otherwise support healthcare workers — including many living in the school's family housing .\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Khan and her co-workers at the UC Berkeley Student Parent Center have been surveying student parents about their needs, organizing regular food pantry pop ups for students living in University Village and collecting educational supplies for kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’ve also been advocating for faculty to give student parents and other nontraditional students more flexible grading options, including the choice to be evaluated for the semester solely on their work done up to this point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're fighting with our instructors in some cases,” said UC Berkeley sociology major and single mom Grace Key. “There’s an unrealistic expectation that we'll just figure it out.

"content": "\u003cp>Weighing in on a charged debate that could influence college admissions across the country, a University of California faculty task force \u003ca href=\"https://senate.universityofcalifornia.edu/_files/underreview/sttf-report.pdf\">recommended\u003c/a> Monday that the university continue requiring applicants to submit SAT or ACT scores, but work to develop its own admissions test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though not the university’s final decision on the subject, the recommendations are a blow to critics who say the tests discriminate against low-income students and underrepresented minorities. And they are a boon to the test administrators, the College Board and ACT Inc., which offered the exams to more than 100,000 students who applied to UC last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The faculty committee’s report \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2019/12/what-if-university-california-drops-sat-test-uc/\">follows months of speculation\u003c/a> about whether UC might make it optional for applicants to submit SAT or ACT scores — as more than 1,000 colleges have done — or replace them with the Smarter Balanced tests that all California 11th-graders take. The task force rejected both options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the faculty group recommended the university keep the test requirement in place while it creates its own exam, a process it estimated could take nine years. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the report acknowledges that black, Latino and Native American students are underrepresented on UC campuses, and that some of that gap is due to test scores, it found that other systemic problems — such as lower rates of high school graduation and completion of college-prep courses — are bigger factors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Task force members said they were surprised to find that test score differences did not explain racial disparities in admission rates. They said UC’s admissions process mitigates the scores’ influence by comparing them to those of other students from the applicant’s school and considering them along with 13 other factors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new, UC-designed admissions test could “assess a broader array of student learning and capabilities” and “potentially show smaller disparities than current measures along the lines of race, ethnicity, and [socioeconomic status],” the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Coverage\" tag=\"university-of-california\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the five other recommendations the task force issued were expanding a UC program that guarantees admission to the top 9% of graduates from each high school in the state, and studying both university admissions practices and individual SAT and ACT test questions to root out discriminatory impact. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report comes in the wake of two lawsuits filed by the Compton Unified School District, community groups and individual high school students arguing that UC’s use of the tests violates the California Constitution. The nationwide college admissions scandal, in which at least two UC campuses became entangled, has also raised questions about the role economic privilege plays in easing access to the public university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The University of California faces a crisis of legitimacy around its undergraduate admissions processes,” the task force report reads. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also hinted at dissent among task force members over the recommendations, noting that some thought the university should stop using the tests even before designing a replacement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue now goes to UC’s Academic Senate, where faculty will discuss it before submitting a final recommendation in April, to be taken up by the university’s board of regents in May.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And they are a boon to the test administrators, the College Board and ACT Inc., which offered the exams to more than 100,000 students who applied to UC last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The faculty committee’s report \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2019/12/what-if-university-california-drops-sat-test-uc/\">follows months of speculation\u003c/a> about whether UC might make it optional for applicants to submit SAT or ACT scores — as more than 1,000 colleges have done — or replace them with the Smarter Balanced tests that all California 11th-graders take. The task force rejected both options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the faculty group recommended the university keep the test requirement in place while it creates its own exam, a process it estimated could take nine years. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the report acknowledges that black, Latino and Native American students are underrepresented on UC campuses, and that some of that gap is due to test scores, it found that other systemic problems — such as lower rates of high school graduation and completion of college-prep courses — are bigger factors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

At an event in November, Carol Christ, the chancellor of UC Berkeley, said, \"I'm very much in favor of doing away with the SAT or ACT as a requirement for application to the University of California.\" UC Berkeley was quick to clarify that comment didn't signal a policy change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC spokeswoman Claire Doan couldn't comment on the lawsuit because it hadn't been filed yet. She says a special faculty task force is currently investigating the use of standardized testing in admissions, and the university system is \"waiting for the assessment and recommendations from the ... Task Force before determining whether any steps should be taken on this important issue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university has been evaluating the requirement through a policy lens, but the lawsuit argues it's a legal issue: \"This policy illegally discriminates against applicants on the basis of race and wealth, and thereby denies them equal protection under the California Constitution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The University of California serves more than 250,000 students and is one of the largest school systems in the country. About 50 years ago, the system adopted the SAT as a way to weed out applicants — a decision that helped elevate the test to a national standard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But research has since shown that SAT scores are \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/03/05/these-four-charts-show-how-the-sat-favors-the-rich-educated-families/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">strongly linked to family income\u003c/a>, and a student's high school academic record, regardless of what school they attended, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2014/02/18/277059528/college-applicants-sweat-the-sats-perhaps-they-shouldn-t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">does a far better job of predicting college success\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HUaI2ofyo8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The College Board, the organization behind the SAT, says grades and test scores function together, providing \"more insight into a student's potential to succeed than either measure alone.\" Research conducted by the College Board \u003ca href=\"https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/pdf/national-sat-validity-study.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">maintains \u003c/a>that SAT scores are predictive of success in college. The ACT says its test is not biased. In a statement, it tells NPR, \"Blaming standardized tests for differences in educational quality and opportunities that exist will not improve educational outcomes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11788327,mindshift_54054,mindshift_51137\" label=\"Standardized Testing\"]Nonetheless, more and more schools are turning to test-optional admissions policies. In 2019, nearly 50 schools \u003ca href=\"https://www.fairtest.org/2019-best-year-ever-testoptional-higher-ed-admissi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dropped \u003c/a>the standardized tests from admissions requirements, according to the National Center for Fair and Open Testing, an advocacy group that has long been critical of standardized testing. Those schools joined a pool of about 1,000 colleges across the country. One of those colleges, the University of Chicago, \u003ca href=\"https://news.uchicago.edu/story/uchicago-empower-meeting-goal-removing-barriers-college-access\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">claims \u003c/a>the decision to go test-optional — along with increased financial aid — has led to an increase of first-generation and low-income students on campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the University of California were to go ahead and drop the testing requirements, it would have profound and widespread effects in the college admissions arena,\" says Bob Schaeffer, director of the National Center for Fair and Open Testing. \"If University of California can go test-optional, pretty much any school could.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, attorney Mark Rosenbaum acknowledges that optional testing won't completely solve the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There probably is no playing field less level than the journey to go to college and higher education — and the SATs are a part of that,\" Rosenbaum says. \"But they're not the whole story.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He hopes the lawsuit will fuel a larger conversation around college admissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2019 NPR.

At an event in November, Carol Christ, the chancellor of UC Berkeley, said, \"I'm very much in favor of doing away with the SAT or ACT as a requirement for application to the University of California.\" UC Berkeley was quick to clarify that comment didn't signal a policy change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC spokeswoman Claire Doan couldn't comment on the lawsuit because it hadn't been filed yet.

Task Force before determining whether any steps should be taken on this important issue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university has been evaluating the requirement through a policy lens, but the lawsuit argues it's a legal issue: \"This policy illegally discriminates against applicants on the basis of race and wealth, and thereby denies them equal protection under the California Constitution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The University of California serves more than 250,000 students and is one of the largest school systems in the country.

New grads are specifically recruited for training residencies. And full-fledged doctors are being offered loan repayment programs to serve low-income residents or work in underserved areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These efforts are intended to ease or stave off the physician shortage expected to peak within the next decade in California. By 2030, the state will be short some 4,000 physicians, according to a study from the HealthForce Center at UC San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shortage is already acute in rural and inner city areas, especially in the Inland Empire of Southern California where the number of physicians needs to double just to reach the recommended amount to serve the fast-growing population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Inland Empire region has one of the lowest ratios of physicians, including primary care physicians, and that creates a number of challenges,” said Dr. Geoffrey Leung, ambulatory medical director for the Riverside University Health System. “ When we have delays in care, that can result in sort of chronic illnesses or acute illnesses that become worse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With high student loans, medical school grads have been turning to better-paying specialties instead of primary care, such as family practice, pediatrics or obstetrics, leaving some areas in dire need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In California in particular, what’s unique is that the total number of physicians isn’t as big of a problem as where they are located,” said Mark Henderson, professor of internal medicine and associate dean of admissions at the UC Davis School of Medicine. “It’s really a maldistribution problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health insurers, medical professionals and community leaders are working on solutions. This summer, the state offered 250-plus doctors loan repayment plans in exchange for ensuring 30% of their caseloads were Medi-Cal patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, insurer LA Care is spending millions on recruiting new doctors and, in South Los Angeles, the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital is working to create a new residency program. In the Inland Empire, leaders are working to create a “middle school to medical school” pipeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because doctors tend to practice near where they trained, where they are from or where they have a family connection, resources are being poured into the expansion or creation of training programs that are situated where the need is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11789007\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11789007\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/PHYSICIAN-SHORTAGE-SOLUTION-photo-3-800x594.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"594\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Moazzum Bajwa completed his residency with Riverside County’s University Health System and stayed on as a full-fledged physician and faculty member of the residency. \u003ccite>(Elizabeth Aguilera/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Most Impacted Region In The State: The Inland Empire\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Inland Empire officials have been working on this for quite some time. A statewide report from The Future Health Workforce Commission released this year found the number of physicians is 35 per 100,000 people, compared to the recommended 70 doctors, making it the most impacted region in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of that need the state approved a new University of California medical school that opened in 2013 at UC Riverside specifically to train doctors to serve the local area. It offers scholarships to students who promise to return after residency to practice in the area and reaches out to kids interested in health careers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county and medical school have partnered to expand long-standing residency programs by inviting more students to train in the area. And both institutions recruit with an eye toward geographic nativity, meaning if an applicant is from or has a connection to the area they get priority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For cancer survivor Cesilia Jimenez these efforts by the county are paying off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently Jimenez received the results of her latest scans at the Moreno Valley Community Health Center from Dr. Moazzum Bajwa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She had been putting it off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been so nervous to hear those results, I knew I wanted to hear them from you,” she told Bajwa after he assured her that everything on the scans looked good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was Bajwa, who was a resident at the time, who diagnosed a cancerous tumor in her neck and got her treatment for it after she had sought answers for years as to why she was losing her ability to walk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11789006\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11789006\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/PHYSICIAN-SHORTAGE-SOLUTION-photo-2-800x567.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"567\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Moazzum Bajwa and patient Cesilia Jimenez hug after her recent appointment.

Bajwa is considered a success story in Riverside County’s efforts to grow, recruit and retain primary care doctors in the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far the county is seeing success, Leung said. About four out of 10 residents stay in the Inland Empire after their training and eight to nine stay in Southern California. While those numbers are not that different from other programs across the state, opening the medical school and expanding training slots have kept doctors in the area.\u003cbr>\nDr. Takesha Cooper is on the admissions committee at the medical school, where priority is given to applicants who have a permanent or active mailing address in the area or went to college or attended high school in the Inland Empire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do a holistic review and don’t just look at test scores,” she said. “We call it mission fits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooper defines it as applicants with connections to the area and who believe in the school’s mission to help the medically underserved region and train a diverse workforce of physicians. “We have to focus and attract and try to keep people who are growing up in this area, who have ties and are more likely to stay,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, the medical school is seeing early success. Of its 128 graduates, about 31% are training as residents in the Inland Empire.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>“I Needed To Serve This Population”\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Cooper is the kind of local student the school hopes to capture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She grew up in Moreno Valley long before the medical school opened. She went away for college, completed medical school at the University of Southern California and moved to the Bay Area for her residency and a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, as statistics bear out, she set up her practice in Palo Alto, near Stanford where she finished her training.\u003cbr>\n“I did that for five years but I started to feel like I’m not really needed here,” she said. “My heart told me I needed to serve this population.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So she came back to Riverside to practice and then she joined the faculty at UCR and has since helped start a residency in general adult psychiatry and a fellowship in child psychiatry as a way to train and keep much-needed mental health professionals in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If our residents had to go to UCLA or UC San Diego or Irvine, chances are they would have stayed in that area and practiced,” she said. “It’s what I did.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the same strategy the county uses in recruiting medical school graduates like Bajwa to its residency programs, said Dr. Adolfo Aguilera, associate director of the University Health System residency program, who also stayed on after he trained in Riverside more than two decades ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When somebody has a connection to the area, you know, they are invested in what they’re going to be doing,” he said. “If they’re here to stay, they’re going to want to make sure that they are providing the best care that they can, that they are essentially trying to build the program so that we’re able to outreach to our community and serve their needs”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bajwa is from the East Coast but the program’s goals matched his when he interviewed and Riverside was his first choice. He also had another reason for coming and staying: His wife is from Riverside and she’s also a physician.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The connection with my wife is what brought me out here first,” he said. “But it was the community and identity of building something bigger than myself that I fell in love with.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what Leung, Aguilera and others in Riverside hope will happen with many of the students and residents they recruit. And they are not alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11789008\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11789008\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/PHYSICIAN-SHORTAGE-SOLUTION-photo-4-800x566.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"566\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Adolfo Aguilera is associate director of the Riverside County University Health System and University of California School of Medicine residency program and physician in charge at the Moreno Valley Community Health Center. s \u003ccite>(Elizabeth Aguilera/CalMatter)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Recruiting Physicians Where They Are Needed\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This kind of thinking is happening across the state in areas lacking physicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Northern California, UC Davis has partnered with the Oregon Health and Science University in Portland and created a program called COMPADRE, or California Oregon Medical Partnership to Address Disparities in Rural Education. It focuses on the area between Davis and Portland to recruit kids to medical school and to provide a program that allows them to train where they are from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ll modify their curriculum to allow them to remain in their home community for a large part of their training to keep them connected to a community health center in the region,” Henderson said. “If we get physicians who actually grew up or have a connection to these communities they will be less burned out and will have meaningful relationships to the community and the hospital.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In urban South Los Angeles, the MLK Jr. Community Hospital set up its own medical group in 2016 that recruits and hires physicians to practice in the neighborhood and is slated to start a residency training program in 2022, said Elaine Batchlor, CEO of the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The strategy is to recruit doctors who have an interest in working in underserved communities, to offer them a state of the art practice environment with high quality colleagues,” she said. “We offer market compensation and the possibility of having loans forgiven because they are working in a medically underserved area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bringing residency slots to communities is a strategy that costs money. These slots are usually paid for by the Medicare program but the federal government has not created new residency positions in years. So the program at MLK and other new training sites are being funded by the host institutions or insurers like LA Care Health Plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LA Care serves 2 million Medi-Cal patients in Southern California. Last year the insurer committed 5% of its reserves, about $31 million a year for five years, to a program called Elevating the Safety Net, said John Baackes, CEO of the organization. It includes scholarships for medical school students, funding for residency slots, grants to clinics and private practices to recruit primary care doctors into Los Angeles County and loan repayment up to $180,000 for those newly recruited physicians who stay three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re hoping that when their three years is up they will have fallen in love with L.A. and their practice and they’ll stay on with us,” Baackes said. “We’re aimed at the safety net populations, those people who are on Medi-Cal or uninsured, and we think this is the right thing to do is invest in the future of this population.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Riverside, the residency program that produced Dr. Bajwa is also partly supported by the county. Riverside County funds 52 positions beyond what the federal government provides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are over our cap, which means every resident that we add on top of that limit are entirely funded through the county,” said Leung, of Riverside University Health System. “Any improvement that we make in the Inland Empire area whether it is in workforce, education or in terms of policy or the way we think about developing neighborhoods, all of those things help make the Inland Empire the sort of area that people want to move to and that help us with recruiting doctors, resident physicians and medical school students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For patients, having access to a doctor over the long term that they know and trust pays off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Dr. Bajwa, Cesilia Jimenez never knew who she was going to see at the clinic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It feels good to just come and he knows what we are going to talk about and not me explaining to the doctor what I’ve been through,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she left their appointment Bajwa gave her a hug before she walked out on her own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many programs talk about serving the underserved but here the focus that the faculty have on actually taking care of the community and doing outreach in the community is just unparalleled I think,” Bajwa said. “That was something I wanted to be a part of.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CalMatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

This summer, the state offered 250-plus doctors loan repayment plans in exchange for ensuring 30% of their caseloads were Medi-Cal patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, insurer LA Care is spending millions on recruiting new doctors and, in South Los Angeles, the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital is working to create a new residency program. In the Inland Empire, leaders are working to create a “middle school to medical school” pipeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because doctors tend to practice near where they trained, where they are from or where they have a family connection, resources are being poured into the expansion or creation of training programs that are situated where the need is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11789007\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11789007\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/PHYSICIAN-SHORTAGE-SOLUTION-photo-3-800x594.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"594\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Moazzum Bajwa completed his residency with Riverside County’s University Health System and stayed on as a full-fledged physician and faculty member of the residency. \u003ccite>(Elizabeth Aguilera/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Most Impacted Region In The State: The Inland Empire\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Inland Empire officials have been working on this for quite some time. A statewide report from The Future Health Workforce Commission released this year found the number of physicians is 35 per 100,000 people, compared to the recommended 70 doctors, making it the most impacted region in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of that need the state approved a new University of California medical school that opened in 2013 at UC Riverside specifically to train doctors to serve the local area. It offers scholarships to students who promise to return after residency to practice in the area and reaches out to kids interested in health careers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county and medical school have partnered to expand long-standing residency programs by inviting more students to train in the area. And both institutions recruit with an eye toward geographic nativity, meaning if an applicant is from or has a connection to the area they get priority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For cancer survivor Cesilia Jimenez these efforts by the county are paying off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently Jimenez received the results of her latest scans at the Moreno Valley Community Health Center from Dr. Moazzum Bajwa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She had been putting it off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been so nervous to hear those results, I knew I wanted to hear them from you,” she told Bajwa after he assured her that everything on the scans looked good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was Bajwa, who was a resident at the time, who diagnosed a cancerous tumor in her neck and got her treatment for it after she had sought answers for years as to why she was losing her ability to walk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11789006\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11789006\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/PHYSICIAN-SHORTAGE-SOLUTION-photo-2-800x567.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"567\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Moazzum Bajwa and patient Cesilia Jimenez hug after her recent appointment. Jimenez said he’s a godsend and that without him she might still be trying to figure out what was wrong. \u003ccite>(Elizabeth Aguilera/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Now, he is an attending physician and teaching residents through Riverside University Health System and the UCR medical school. Bajwa is considered a success story in Riverside County’s efforts to grow, recruit and retain primary care doctors in the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far the county is seeing success, Leung said. About four out of 10 residents stay in the Inland Empire after their training and eight to nine stay in Southern California. While those numbers are not that different from other programs across the state, opening the medical school and expanding training slots have kept doctors in the area.\u003cbr>\nDr. Takesha Cooper is on the admissions committee at the medical school, where priority is given to applicants who have a permanent or active mailing address in the area or went to college or attended high school in the Inland Empire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do a holistic review and don’t just look at test scores,” she said. “We call it mission fits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooper defines it as applicants with connections to the area and who believe in the school’s mission to help the medically underserved region and train a diverse workforce of physicians. “We have to focus and attract and try to keep people who are growing up in this area, who have ties and are more likely to stay,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, the medical school is seeing early success. Of its 128 graduates, about 31% are training as residents in the Inland Empire.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>“I Needed To Serve This Population”\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Cooper is the kind of local student the school hopes to capture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She grew up in Moreno Valley long before the medical school opened. She went away for college, completed medical school at the University of Southern California and moved to the Bay Area for her residency and a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, as statistics bear out, she set up her practice in Palo Alto, near Stanford where she finished her training.\u003cbr>\n“I did that for five years but I started to feel like I’m not really needed here,” she said. “My heart told me I needed to serve this population.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So she came back to Riverside to practice and then she joined the faculty at UCR and has since helped start a residency in general adult psychiatry and a fellowship in child psychiatry as a way to train and keep much-needed mental health professionals in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If our residents had to go to UCLA or UC San Diego or Irvine, chances are they would have stayed in that area and practiced,” she said. “It’s what I did.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the same strategy the county uses in recruiting medical school graduates like Bajwa to its residency programs, said Dr. Adolfo Aguilera, associate director of the University Health System residency program, who also stayed on after he trained in Riverside more than two decades ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When somebody has a connection to the area, you know, they are invested in what they’re going to be doing,” he said. “If they’re here to stay, they’re going to want to make sure that they are providing the best care that they can, that they are essentially trying to build the program so that we’re able to outreach to our community and serve their needs”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bajwa is from the East Coast but the program’s goals matched his when he interviewed and Riverside was his first choice. He also had another reason for coming and staying: His wife is from Riverside and she’s also a physician.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The connection with my wife is what brought me out here first,” he said. “But it was the community and identity of building something bigger than myself that I fell in love with.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what Leung, Aguilera and others in Riverside hope will happen with many of the students and residents they recruit. And they are not alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11789008\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11789008\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/PHYSICIAN-SHORTAGE-SOLUTION-photo-4-800x566.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"566\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Adolfo Aguilera is associate director of the Riverside County University Health System and University of California School of Medicine residency program and physician in charge at the Moreno Valley Community Health Center. s \u003ccite>(Elizabeth Aguilera/CalMatter)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Recruiting Physicians Where They Are Needed\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This kind of thinking is happening across the state in areas lacking physicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Northern California, UC Davis has partnered with the Oregon Health and Science University in Portland and created a program called COMPADRE, or California Oregon Medical Partnership to Address Disparities in Rural Education. It focuses on the area between Davis and Portland to recruit kids to medical school and to provide a program that allows them to train where they are from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ll modify their curriculum to allow them to remain in their home community for a large part of their training to keep them connected to a community health center in the region,” Henderson said. “If we get physicians who actually grew up or have a connection to these communities they will be less burned out and will have meaningful relationships to the community and the hospital.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In urban South Los Angeles, the MLK Jr. Community Hospital set up its own medical group in 2016 that recruits and hires physicians to practice in the neighborhood and is slated to start a residency training program in 2022, said Elaine Batchlor, CEO of the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The strategy is to recruit doctors who have an interest in working in underserved communities, to offer them a state of the art practice environment with high quality colleagues,” she said. “We offer market compensation and the possibility of having loans forgiven because they are working in a medically underserved area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bringing residency slots to communities is a strategy that costs money. These slots are usually paid for by the Medicare program but the federal government has not created new residency positions in years. So the program at MLK and other new training sites are being funded by the host institutions or insurers like LA Care Health Plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LA Care serves 2 million Medi-Cal patients in Southern California. Last year the insurer committed 5% of its reserves, about $31 million a year for five years, to a program called Elevating the Safety Net, said John Baackes, CEO of the organization. It includes scholarships for medical school students, funding for residency slots, grants to clinics and private practices to recruit primary care doctors into Los Angeles County and loan repayment up to $180,000 for those newly recruited physicians who stay three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re hoping that when their three years is up they will have fallen in love with L.A. and their practice and they’ll stay on with us,” Baackes said. “We’re aimed at the safety net populations, those people who are on Medi-Cal or uninsured, and we think this is the right thing to do is invest in the future of this population.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Riverside, the residency program that produced Dr. Bajwa is also partly supported by the county. Riverside County funds 52 positions beyond what the federal government provides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are over our cap, which means every resident that we add on top of that limit are entirely funded through the county,” said Leung, of Riverside University Health System. “Any improvement that we make in the Inland Empire area whether it is in workforce, education or in terms of policy or the way we think about developing neighborhoods, all of those things help make the Inland Empire the sort of area that people want to move to and that help us with recruiting doctors, resident physicians and medical school students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For patients, having access to a doctor over the long term that they know and trust pays off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Dr. Bajwa, Cesilia Jimenez never knew who she was going to see at the clinic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It feels good to just come and he knows what we are going to talk about and not me explaining to the doctor what I’ve been through,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she left their appointment Bajwa gave her a hug before she walked out on her own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many programs talk about serving the underserved but here the focus that the faculty have on actually taking care of the community and doing outreach in the community is just unparalleled I think,” Bajwa said. “That was something I wanted to be a part of.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The audit said there was \"insufficient evidence\" to conclude that she knew of the full range of what her staff was up to or that she directly approved of any interference, but the investigation and subsequent oversight prompted a rare public rebuke by the UC's governing Board of Regents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano had a distinguished career before coming to California.
