Put students from socioeconomically disadvantaged families in medical school for free and don't require that schools have an obligation to train the proper workforce for the country and those students will go the same direction that all the other students are going. Make hospitals and departments who train subspecialty fellows pay for those fellows rather than take it from Medicare and we will see a mysterious decrease in subspecialists. Free tuition in exchange for two years of social service, pay for residents through the first three years but not after PG 3, pay all physicians with a salary and there might be a shift in the right direction.johnjosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007760329913046351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509187841033628660.post-86979233428473485822018-08-26T10:17:24.672-07:002018-08-26T10:17:24.672-07:00When Dr. Rafael Rivera, a radiologist, the NYU adm...When Dr. Rafael Rivera, a radiologist, the NYU administrator who spoke for NYU, was interviewed on National Public Radio, he was asked if NYU expected more students to choose FAMILY MEDICINE careers. He answered that students would now be more able and likely to choose such less-well-paid specialties as PEDIATRICS and RESEARCH. He dodged the question.
