Hospital for Sale: A Story of Bankruptcy and the Orphaning of Medical Trainees


Listen Later

Dan talks with Dr. David Aizenberg and Dr. Nihaal Karnik about what happened at Hahnemann University Hospital’s residency program when the hospital filed for bankruptcy and abruptly closed in 2019. They discuss the fallout, and the implications for the 500+ residents left scrambling to find new jobs. The Hahnemann story is a timely reminder of the financial, emotional and physical vulnerabilities of being a graduate medical trainee, especially now as thousands of residents nationwide work on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
