New York Hospitals Create Outcry in Foreign Deal
New York Citys Health and Hospitals Corporation has signed a 10-year, $100 million contract with a profit-making medical school in the Caribbean to provide clinical training for hundreds of students at the citys 11 public hospitals.
They say that the contract, with St. Georges University School of Medicine on the island of Grenada, has turned a meritocracy into a bounty system in which struggling city hospitals collect more for every St. Georges student they take, and could squeeze out local students.
