Montana lawmakers reject doctor residency expansion

Montana lawmakers have rejected a $400,000 request to expand a state program to train doctors.
The Joint Appropriations Subcommittee on Education did not approve an expansion request from Montana’s Graduate Medical Education program. Doctors said the money would be used to expand training in rural areas and establish a psychiatry residency.
Montana has three residency programs and just 686 practicing primary-care doctors. Seventeen Montana counties have zero primary-care physicians.
