I came across this piece of legislation and was wondering what everyone's thoughts were over here in EM: AAMC Statement on Introduction of Senate GME Expansion Legislation
Even though it seems to have the support of many physicians wouldn't the creation of 15,000 more residency spot (about a 50% increase in what we have in the US today) create a glut of residents (I believe it's only about 2500 MD/DOs that go unmatched every year) and make finding a job very difficult/lower wages across the board? Aren't we already complaining about all the new EM residency programs cropping up?
