“There is a severe shortage of
doctors in Kentucky. We have to
protect the people first." Sen. Tom
Easterly, D—Franfort. said this is
the reason he proposed a bill to the
state legislature that will tighten the
admissions to Kentucky medical
schools.

Graduates wouldhave to practice
in Kentucky one year for each year
of medical school or repay the state
for the cost of their education. Any
student failing to sign this
agreement would be denied ad<
mission to UL or UK medical
schools.

Easterly said, “The proof there is
a shortage of doctors is the fact that
oneoutof five newly licensed doc-
tors in the US are from a foreign
country. One out of three doctors in
Kentucky is foreign."

Currently in Kentucky, there is a

shortage of 444 primary care doctors
according to a survey from the
American Association of Family
Physicians.

Easterly thinks the bill will
alleviate the problem. “There is a
critical problem, Out of the 108
students admitted to medical school.
60 per cent will leave tthe statet."

College of Medicine Dean Kay
Clawson thinks differently. She
said.“The attempts at legislating
studentsrequiring them to stay in
the state after receiving an
cducationis not new. in the places it
has been tried. ithas not met with
much success."

The reaction among the medical
students was divided.

Eve Wiseman. a second year
student, thinks “it is reasonable.“
“The state is pouring in money;
maybe they have the right to say we
work for them."she said.

Marty Klaphekc. third year
student. wants the frtedom to go
