From Ally Anderson of the AAMC:
The AAMC just published an updated version of its guide entitled Medicare Payments for Graduate Medical Education: What Every Medical Student, Resident and Advisor Needs to Know. (This updates the version last published in 2006.) The brochure briefly describes how Medicare pays teaching hospitals for graduate medical education and discusses the impact that the payment system may have on an individual resident.
