title: Pacemaker therapy for academic medicine.
abstract: Both the clinical practice and the administrative environments of academic medicine have become progressively more complex. Although management methods for dealing with the administrative intricacies are commonly not part of academic training, guidelines may be derived from medical practice. The authors identify specific parallels and analogies between recent developments in the design of pacemakers and the requirements of organizations that implant them.
