What's old is new again, as questions about the market for doctors focuses on the Match (as opposed to accreditation of residencies by medical specialty boards, etc.)
Reuters has the story:
US House panel launches antitrust probe of medical residency system By Mike Scarcella
"March 17 (Reuters) - A U.S. congressional committee is investigating how medical students are placed in residency training programs, seeking documents from major university hospitals, the American Medical Association and other organizations as part of an antitrust probe.
The Republican leadership of the House Judiciary Committee’s antitrust panel sent the hospitals and groups letters on Friday saying they are investigating whether restrictions on hiring practices in the medical residency market suppress aspiring doctors' mobility and pay and contribute to doctor shortages."
