I thought you should know their situation, I got this from a friend in Michigan.
"The DMC and WSU, which jointly operate about 70 medical residency programs that give graduate medical students hands-on training in special areas of practice, have been disputing the terms of a contract that expires Dec. 31. Together, their programs provide health care to many of the region's poorest residents.
The two sides have been fighting over how doctors should be compensated for duties they perform at the DMC and whether they should be allowed to participate in business ventures that might compete with DMC interests.
But the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, the group that accredits medical programs, said it hopes for a contract by Tuesday, a deadline that if not met could mean the end to the DMC and WSU medical residency programs.
Such a result would cost the two organizations 900 medical residents and many of the 700 physicians who train them and deal a devastating blow to Michigan's health care system, which already is suffering from a shortage of doctors."
Here's the link to the full article

They should reach a decision by tomorrow.
