Re: Health CareFrom: Andrew Folley (agfolley@hotmail.com)Fri Jul 31 11:17:11 2009
The alternative is having your family show up in the emergency room for their preventative care. You may be underestimating the training of todays interns in primary care?

That's essentially what you are saying, I think. Years ago, one year of internship may have been sufficient to train a GP, but not anymore. I would not want my family cared for by one of these government residents, which is essentially what they will be. Anna Meenan, MD, FAAFP 1. Let me rephrase my proposal. How about if we start the program with next years incoming medical students. "If we accept you to our medical school you will have a mandatory committment to govt service for a minimum of 2 yrs and not more than 4 afters your 1 yr primary care internship. For every year of service, 1 yr medical school will be paid for. (ie Ricks 180K). You will then be assigned to serve in underserved area for 2 to 4 years depending on how many years med school is paid for. (your choice of area) you get a fixed income (comparable to private docs in area) with bonus incentive based on quality factors (not quantity). renewable contracts optional after that. After committment finished you can go into residency and specialty of your choice. Upside is that the 15% of uninsured will be assigned to a primary care doc in their geographic location (ie minimal choice for them).. PS who of us on this list said in our med school interview that we "wanted to be doctors so we could make lots of money"?? I am sure our answer was "I want to help people"??

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
