The competition for spots in medical schools may get a little less fierce over the next few years, but the competition for postgraduate residencies(the period of specialized training in a hospital that a doctor receives after leaving university)may be heating up. The number of federally funded residencies has remained
capped
since 1997, despite the expected significant increase in the number of first-year medical students by 2017.
These training positions are largely funded by the federal health care program known as Medicare. There are hardly more residency spots being created to meet the demand of new graduates. Medical organizations are pushing House of Representative and Senate leaders to create more spots to offset these challenges, but their efforts may be ineffective in the short term.
In March the Association of American Medical Colleges backed two bills introduced in the House and one in the Senate that outline a plan for adding 3,000 residency positions each year from 2015 through 2019. Even though the bills provide a compromise, they may not enact immediate change. "Members of Congress might agree that we need new residency spots," says Ray Quintero, director of the department of government relations for the association. But "the cost of residency spots is quite expensive. So there’s been an inability to find the funding. "
The University of Nevada School of Medicine is preparing students to get into residencies when fewer spots are available. ln the last few years the school has started gathering more data about the profiles of students who match in competitive residencies and using data from the National Resident Matching Program to advise students about the specialties in which they should attempt a match. That data, combined with an analysis of a student’s strengths and likes, can give them a better chance at solidifying a residency match.
At the School of Medicine at Oregon Health and Science University, professors are trying a variety of ways to make students more competitive residency candidates. They now receive training in topics such as informatics, which examines how information is delivered. Students are encouraged to think about how tools such as Facebook, Twitter and email factor into corresponding with patients and others in the health care community. Residency programs have changed and what they’re looking to do has changed, says George Mejicano, the school’s senior associate dean for education. "It’s both an advising and a curriculum process," he says.
Prospective students trying to plan their medical careers should spend time with physicians in multiple health care settings to see if being a doctor is really what they want to do, says Margo Vener, a family physician who also teaches medicine at the University of California—San Francisco. She has been advising UCSF students on their career and residency choices since 1999. "This is an incredibly long and hard training process," says Vener. And because it’s followed by possibly a 30- to 40-year career, "training is the tip of the iceberg. "
The word "capped"(Line 4, Para.1)most probably means
选项
A、sealed.
B、topped.
C、unchanged.
D、lowered.
答案
C
解析
语义理解题。根据题干提示定位到第一段第二句。该句阐述的是自1997年以来,由联邦政府资助的住院医生数量的变化情况,根据后面的分句可知,截止到2017年,一年级的医学学生数量会有显著增加,despite表示转折,再根据capped前面的remained可知,这里表示“始终处于同一水平,没有变化”,因此选[C]。[A]“密封的”、[B]“顶尖的”和[D]“降低的”均不符合句意,故排除。
