This specialty is starting to border on scam.

At this point anyone opening a new residency is intentionally preying on desperate medical students.

We are truly becoming the Caribbean of residencies.

What specialty? Test, pills, and bill someone else?

The ER has turned into a failed experiment in socialism. The vast, vast majority are of some sort of government payment plan (IHS, Medicaid, Medicare, Tricare) and they use the ER for all sorts of nonsense. It's a rare patient (10%? 20%?) that requires any active role to improve their outcome.

PAs generally have a decent enough fund of knowledge to stumble through bread and butter cases. NPs these days often can't tell pneumonia from CHF

Every infiltrate needs an antibiotic

Seriously. I treat every infiltrate the same—vosyn, Lasix and a 30 cc/kg bolus. Plus a CTPA if covid+

 

[emergentmd]

EM is no alone. HCA is running all hospital based specialties + Optho + Derm + Primary care. I would not be surprised if more hospital systems start their own programs. We could essentially have the majority of residencies run by hospitals/VC groups on the future.

All residencies are screwed

 

[emergentmd]

I really do not blame any hospital system opening up residencies. Its all an economics game and if you can get cheap/free labor x 3-7 years then why not.

If the ACGME/RRC allows it, these hospitals would be stupid not to open them.

If I had a company making widgets and the city was paying for a free intern program to put in the widgets, then I would be dumb to not take low cost/free labor. My widgets may not be done as well/fast but the consumer won't care.

Isn't this the same as anti-trust? Just reversed.

Flooding the market to control salaries.

You'd have to prove that all the different players are opening programs for that reason and working together to do so.

Regulators only care if your salary goes up. If it makes the price of your labor cheaper then they couldn't care less.
