#2This is interesting. There’s also a projection of physician shortage in the years to come. This is both for primary and specialty doctors, and I’m curious if there will be innovative ways to work around this, too; this was released a few days ago here: https://news.aamc.org/press-releases/article/2019-workforce-....

#3Good: https://jakeseliger.com/2019/03/13/the-college-bribery-scand.... It seems that higher-ed reform is not going to come from within; it must start from outside the current system.

My understanding is that the big problems are 1. existing credentialing bodies and 2. the AMA, which wants to restrict entry into the profession and chiefly does so through the residency system. The physician shortage is a bug to the larger society but a feature to existing doctors, who wish to charge patients more and raise their own salaries.

That’s a good way to think about this, it has a unique problem on that level.

#7> The firm devotes about a third of its time and resources to finding jobs for its graduates, an unusually high share. Another third goes to recruiting students and the rest to teaching.
So, 2/3 of what they're paid (presumably after Austen Allred's and the VCs' take), is marketing, leaving the leftovers to pay for actual instructors. If I end up in the hospital, I want a nurse with an actual education, not "nursing boot camp."

#8This is ironic. My girlfriend, a nurse of 10+ years, got accepted to the Lambda School web dev track and is starting at the end of May, to get out of nursing.

How much of a university's budget goes to actual teaching?
