Money is coming down from HHS to improve the primary care workforce, according to this story from California Healthline: http://www.californiahealthline.org/articles/2010/6/17/hhs-pledges-250m-to-strengthen-primary-care-work-force-nationwide.aspx.
They are outlining plans to create additional residency slots for primary care. I sure hope that someone is planning to use some of the funding to increase medical library-based access to point-of-care and evidence-based medicine information resources for these additional 500 professionals in training...please say that information resources will also be supported, please?? I really want these (and all health) professionals to have their brain cells renewed through information access.
