Ginsberg Examines
Doctor Shortage
State Assemblyman Martin
Ginsberg (R. Plainview) has
called upon the medical
profession to come to the
forefront in seeking solutions to
end New York State's growing
doctor shortage.
In an address at the annual
convention of the New York State
Medical Society, in Manhattan,
Ginsberg, who is Chairman of the
Assembly Health Committee,
asked the doctors to consider the
I merits of shortening the medical
students, curriculum, from the
present 8 years to 6 years and
establishing evening enrollment .
' similar to programs' oWerea-nn
most law schools.
"The / medical profession
should be in the forefront of
change in establishing new
policies to meet our own doctor
shortage and a national shortage
of an estimated 50 thousand
doctors," Ginsberg stated.
The Plainview lawmaker, who
has been meeting the deans of
New York's 11 medical schools to
discuss problems of financing
and enrollment procedure, said
he planned to introduce
legislation this year calling-for
increased state assistance to both
the medical schools as well asto*3v
prospective students. \
