Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Reform the RUC? Absolutely, urgently. Reduce debt for primary care docs? Yes. Is the Texas Tech program really reducing training for primary care docs? I don't know the program, so I don't know. But I do think that it could be worth looking at the whole training regimen (for all specialties) to reduce inefficient and needless components. Doing that would probably require specialty choice early in the process. I don't know if this would work in reality, but I hope we can avoid a knee-jerk reaction against possibly meaningful innovation. I did not find all parts of medical education equally useful.
