What's interesting is that medical residencies in the US have involved similar controversies as highlighted by the piece that's the focus of this thread. Residents are not allowed to leave their residencies, under threat of being banned from the matching process that's required to enter one. The criticism is this leads to all sorts of abuse from programs, because unhappy residents can't transfer. This is despite the fact residencies are often federally funded, and the residents have already taken out large educational loans for medical school.
