The 1990s. A new education-service dichotomy.
In the past, the notion of the "education-service dichotomy" concerned the divergent priorities of academia and the clinical care delivery setting. Collaboration has resulted in a great deal of reconciliation between the differing emphases of these two orientations. Recently, a new and possibly more problematic dichotomy of the 1990s presents itself WITHIN the practice setting. This article describes trends that may adversely affect the educational and administrative dynamics internal to the clinical practice setting, suggests changes that must be undertaken in order to bring goals into closer alignment, and gives specific strategies used in one medical center nursing service that have successfully averted a "new dichotomy scenario".
