   More MD Grads Than Residencies for Second Year

   Despite the physician shortage, hundreds of medical school graduates can’t get residencies, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. In many cases, failure to obtain a residency–a vital part of becoming a medical doctor–is not due to a student’s performance but rather with supply and demand in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), which allocates residencies, according to the article.

   In addition, even though the physician shortage persists, there are simply more graduates than residencies, the article states.

   This year, 26,678 positions were available, according to the NRMP’s annual report. This is the second consecutive year there were more graduates than residencies. “We’ve gotten to a choke point where there are more students graduating than are getting a residency,” Janis Orlowski, senior director in healthcare affairs for the Association of Modern Medical Colleges, told the Post-Gazette.

   For Physicians – the Cheese has Moved

   At last month’s American Medical Association (AMA) House of Delegates Interim meeting in Dallas, attendees approved a resolution to study the impact of physician unionization based on the growing concern about physician employment arrangements by hospitals and health insurers.

   While it’s not likely physician unions will sweep the country, it’s certain physicians aren’t happy. Their reasons are understandable:

   YouTube but not MD
   

   One in 3 British children age 6 to 17 told pollsters last year that they wanted to become a full-time YouTuber. That’s three times as many as those who wanted to become a doctor or a nurse.

   • 78% of physicians sometimes, often or always experience feelings of burnout.
   • Nearly a quarter of physician time is spent on non-clinical paperwork.
