title: Why medicine residencies?
abstract: Over the last several decades the context of the medicine residency has changed. These changes are described and attributed in considerable degree to bureaucratic impositions. I consider it paradoxic that there is finally a move afoot to reverse the changing nature of medicine residencies, yet this effort appears in the form of yet another bureaucratic imposition.
