Frustrated residents worry as they look toward an uncertain future

Abstract

Frustrated, disheartened and angry that most provinces have introduced disincentive measures that target young physicians, today's residents are discouraged and uncertain about their future. Not only will the medical profession lose because of this situation, the residents say, but so will patients who are deprived of new ideas and physicians with the most current training. Nancy Robb examines the mood of the country's physicians-in-waiting.
