General medical education should not be a commodity
Manage episode 364838438 series 3480557
In June 2019, Hahnemann University Hospital, a teaching hospital that had served poor residents in Philadelphia for more than 170 years, filed for bankruptcy and, within months, closed its doors for good. The complex story of its closure, after being purchased by a private equity executive, highlights concerns with health care finances and how physician training is caught in the middle.
In this episode of the Narrative Matters podcast, Jessica Bylander talks to Sharon Griswold, a professor of emergency medicine at the Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, who writes about Hahnemann’s demise and what it meant for graduate medical education.
Following a short interview, Griswold reads her essay, “Graduate Medical Education Should Not Be A Commodity.”
