BI - Law-school grads are bombing the bar, and it's a sign of trouble for legal education

man, aren’t we cranky today?

your own article reinforces what i just posted:

the number of clinical training opportunities for medical students and the impact of enrollment growth on residency opportunities. In 2014, 87 percent of deans said they were alarmed by the number of clinical training sites and the supply of qualified primary care preceptors. Similarly, 71 percent of schools reported “major or moderate concern” in their state about enrollment growth outpacing growth in graduate medical education.

“Congress must act now to lift the cap on residency training positions so that we can train more doctors each year to meet the health care needs of our nation’s growing and aging population,” said Dr. Kirch

And, the press release says nothing about the expense of adding those slots. (hint: it ain’t cheap, unlike adding a slot in a law school, which is marginally zero.)

For example, this took two google clicks: new med school building costs $375 million. It will add 40 students to each class size. Nearly $9+ million per new seat per class. In contrast, GULC and HLS could easily add 40 students at a mere pittance of that price. Just a few adjuncts will do it since they already have the physical plant.

btw: how do you know what I do, or don’t do? (I’ve never posted it.)
