Factors Contributing to the Variability of Direct Costs for Graduate Medical Education in Teaching Hospitals.

Boex, James R.

Academic Medicine, v67 n2 p80-84 Feb 1992

A national survey of 69 teaching hospitals (principally affiliated community teaching hospitals) found much variation in direct graduate medical education pass-through costs, supported by Medicare. Analysis suggested variations may be a result of the faculty expenses component, economies of scale, and the contribution of volunteers. Tables and figures detail survey findings. (Author/DB)
