…It is obvious that the priority of addressing physician shortages in the area is to develop new residency opportunities, not increasing the number of medical students. Therefore, the push for a second medical school on campus with a class size of 100 students is a travesty and misplaced effort.

via Eye Dr DeLengocky: A second medical school in Fort Worth is a misplaced priority.

A good article by a DO against a Fort Worth MD School, with a good point: what we need more are residency slots, not a new school.

This also ignores the elephant in the room, that hospitals don’t want Osteopathic residencies as there’s still a stigma (which is not justified but that is real).  I believe that’s the reason behind the allopathic push, with the not unreasonable belief that hospitals will be more amenable to opening MD residencies.

Still, a good blog post by a medblogger I was unaware of, and it makes very good points.
