I again don’t have a sense of how this works, but the activities performed by a resident are overseen by a qualified doctor. Eventually, the residents are able to supervise other residents and only consult the qualified doctor for important matters.
This would seem to increase the potential productivity of a hospital. So I am confused by why you say residents are a cost on balance sheets (again, considering that their pay comes from Medicare/Medicaid)
- s1artibartfast 3y agoHospitals claim that residents take more work than they do, and that hospitals would loose somewhere between 75-100k/year on each resident if the federal governments didn't pay them. I think this is likely bullshit, but if if it is true, that still doesnt mean the government paying for residents is a good solution. Employers take a loss all the time to train worker in other industries, and there are many ways for them to recoup their losses.
