 ECFMG RESPONDS TO ARTICLE IN LAST MONTH'S ISSUE, "NEW ECFMG RULES MAKE OBTAINING J VISAS MORE DIFFICULT"

 Subspecialty Health Care in the United States: More Is Better! by Scott W. Atlas, M.D.
Although the United States is leading the world into a new era in medicine with the convergence of advances in molecular biology, medical imaging, and minimally invasive diagnosis and therapy, a trend toward non-state-of-the-art technologies is directly correlated with the degree of managed-care penetration.
Despite managed care, however, health care costs have continued to rise—placing expensive new medical technologies at risk in discussions of containing health care costs.
Moreover, it is naïve to think that the uses of specialized medical technologies are best determined by generalists (a point well understood by the medical community).
