Not necessarilyby Anonymous (no login)Most contracts have clause that a program can close for a number of reasons. Again if the hospital closed, lost funding, or is financial trouble they will lay off employees, close clinics, ERs, maternity wards, nursing and healthcare schools, and residency training programs. It is bad for all involved but is not podiatry specific. This has happened to other medical specialties. It can devastate a community. If however the hospital is fine and the director dropped the ball or the hospital closed the program on a whim or for political reasons then I would go after them. In the meantime while everyone tells you how bad you have it and the profession stinks repply. As said above it is an applicants market with the number of grads down. from IP address 205.188.209.74 Goto Forum Home |
