Residents at Peninsula Hospital Center in Queens, NY are encouraging the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) to revoke Peninsula’s credentials as a teaching facility. A newly appointed trustee at the teaching hospital plans to lay off 78 residents in a cost-cutting maneuver, according to a recent New York Daily News article.
The “mutiny” is a protest by the at-risk residents, who say the layoffs will deal the residents and fellows of varying postgraduate years a considerable financial and professional blow.
