Repeat Residency Training??

A letter to the editor in Medical Economics states:
"I believe most of us are under the impression that organizations that oversee professional behavior are extremely reluctant to take genuine disciplinary actions. While I agree that only substantiated charges should be made public, I'd like to see stronger punishment than a meaningless letter of censure, yet less than revoking a license. Perhaps physicians could be required to repeat residency training to re-establish their skills."
I would rather lose my medical license than to repeat residency.

Thanks, sounds very encouraging to those of us already going through residency.

Very encouraging.

Good grief. You must be ancient.

Speaking as someone who finished residency in 1994, I can honestly say I'd never go back. Does that make me ancient?
