148D.2 ESTABLISHMENT.
A statewide medical education system is established for the
purpose of training resident physicians in family practice. The dean
of the college of medicine is responsible for implementing the
development and expansion of residency programs in co-operation with
the medical profession, hospitals, and clinics located throughout the
state. The head of the department of family practice in the college
of medicine shall determine where affiliated residency programs shall
be established, giving consideration to communities in the state
where the population, hospital facilities, number of physicians and
interest in medical education indicate the potential success of the
residency programs. The medical education systems shall provide
financial support for residents in training in accredited affiliated
residency programs and shall establish positions for a director,
assistant director, and other faculty in the programs. To assure
continued growth, development, and academic essentials in ongoing
programs, nonaffiliated residency programs which are accredited by a
recognized national accrediting organization, shall be funded under
this chapter at a level commensurate with the support of the
affiliated residency programs having a comparable number of residents
in training or, if there are no affiliated residency programs having
a comparable number of residents in training, then a nonaffiliated
program shall be funded in an amount determined on a pro rata
capitation basis for each resident in training, equivalent to the per
capita funding for each resident in training in an affiliated program
having the nearest number of residents in training. As used in the
preceding sentence, "support" means both cash grants and the
value of service directly provided to affiliated residency programs
by the college of medicine. Section History: Early Form
