Officials hope new residency program keeps doctors in South Florida
Local medical schools and institutions celebrated the beginning of a new residency program on Monday, bringing 50 doctors to the area.
Medical officials hope many of them stay and help boost South Florida's shortening supply of doctors.
South Florida and the nation are suffering a shortage of doctors in general and specialized care. As doctors retire, Palm Beach County will need about 375 family doctors in four years, according to the county Medical Society. With retirements, less than 200 are expected to be practicing. Officials predict a shortfall of 85,000 doctors nationwide by 2020.

Five Palm Beach County hospitals cited for denying ER care
The 24-year-old waited 12 hours with an open leg fracture as hospital after hospital declined to provide treatment. Injured in a moped accident, the patient needed an orthopedist.
The specialist at Palms West in Loxahatchee said the wound was open too long. At Wellington Regional Medical Center, the on-call orthopedist tried to pass the case to another hospital. The specialist at JFK Medical Center in Atlantis said no, and so did the chief executive officer.
The three hospitals were among five in Palm Beach County cited last year for violating a federal law to prevent patient dumping. Federal records show the hospitals denied about 30 patients emergency specialty care they should have provided. Compared with about 450,000 emergency department visits in 2007, the number of patients is small.
