> There isn't enough staff to manage teaching AND medical care at hospitals. The complaint "we can't spend the time to train new employees" isn't specific to the medical field, but the solution is the same: they can't afford NOT to, and the lack of staff is proof of it. The last plan ended in the failure we're at now (no staff available to train new staff). The best time for staff to start training more staff was before they ran out of staff. The next best time is now. The rub is that lack of staff isn't what prevents this, nor is even lack of staff time. It's a conscious, short-term-focused decision by hospitals to focus efforts outwards on making more money, rather than inwards on training or changing the status quo. And honestly, the long-term herculean task of changing the existing resident system seems, in my opinion, out of scope and fantastical for the average hospital.
