Federal project pays N.Y. med schools to cut residency slots

Article Abstract:

The Health Care Financing Administration will continue graduate medical education program funding for 41 New York hospitals even though the facilities are decreasing the number of residency slots they offer. Officials hope cutting residency slots by at least 20% will reduce physician oversupply and allow the teaching hospitals to revamp their programs.
