Like many physicians of my age (I was born in 1945), I trained in a medical education system so vastly different from that of today that any relevance to current trainees is coincidental at best. I obtained my MD and PhD degrees at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (1967-1973) and then was an intern and resident at the Yale-New Haven Hospital (1973-1975). During that era, once classroom work was finished, medical students were thrust onto the wards to help care for the very sick. Despite decaying facilities, nasty environments, and inadequate staffing, public hospitals like Bellevue, Jacobi, and Boston City were considered prime places to train since medical students and house staff were given a lot of “autonomy.”.
