Sorry if this has been addressed earlier (did a quick search but didn't a suitable answer).
I mean, what is so difficult about creating additional transitional years to accomodate all the categorical matches? Isn't it essentially a prelim year with a lot of electives? Do most of the elective services simply not require that many interns and hence why so few of them are made available?
Or are all of the US hospitals colluding to force as many categorical folk to man as many medicine floors/call months as possible?
