A much needed infusion of family doctors is on its way to Arkansas.
Facing a shortage of family doctors, the state will get some relief with a
federal grant that will fund 30 more primary-care resident physicians at
UAMS Area Health Education Centers (AHECs) in El Dorado, Fayetteville,
Jonesboro and Pine Bluff.
The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences has received a $4.56 million
federal grant to add the 30 family-medicine resident positions phased in at
six a year, beginning in 2011.
The new residency slots are a result of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act signed into law in March and will help Arkansas meet the
demand for family-medicine physicians. Nationwide, 500 additional residency
positions were funded.
There currently are 136 family medicine residents at six AHECS throughout
the state. To become a family medicine physician, medical-school graduates
must complete three more years of training as residents, treating patients
while under the direction of an attending physician.
The federal government funds these positions and sets the number of slots.
Medical schools across the country have been increasing student enrollment
over the last several years to help address the nationwide shortage of
health-care workers. However, the number of residency slots has not
increased, meaning these additional students have nowhere to serve their
residencies. | s******n

谁开，如果是从这里面开，那么住院医的花费基本上就是开工资了，最多多那么一万多
钱花在一些额外的开销上。
如果FMG能贷款15万美元自费读住院医，不是也完全可行吗？ |
