Grulee Sees Problem In Medical Aid Bill
By Elaine King
Of The Times Staff
Or Clifford G Grulee. dean
of the Louisiana State
University School of Medicine
in Shreveport, said yesterday
he is concerned about possible
impact of pending federal
legislation on the school
The legislation deals with
the provisions under which
federal subsidies would be
made to medical schools on a
per student basis
It's going to be a problem
for the medical school, the
dean said But he said he does
not think it will be
insurmountable, with proper
planning, for Shreveport's
Medical School.
The measure, which passed
in the Senate Tuesday,
provides new federal funds for
t r a i n i n g health care
professionals It is designed to
replace the health manpower
act that expired earlier this
year.
Under the expired bill
medical schools received a
federal subsidy for each
student The measure, now
before the House, would make
any subsidies subject to
federal guidelines
The bill would provide
federal grants to medical
schools that reserve 25 per
cent of its total enrollment
slots for students who agree to
serve after graduation in
medically under staffed
areas.
In return for their pledges
of service after graduation,
the students would receive
federal funds for their
education, the bill provides A
student could not participate
in the program for less than
two years
The medically underserved
areas include inner city and
rural sections
Medical schools in the past
have received federal
subsidies on a per student
basis, Dean Grulee said,
"without any strings
attached."
Although the legislation will
mean financial loss to many
medical schools, the medical
school here is "perhaps more
fortunate than many larger,
older institutions," Dr. Grulee
said.
The amount of federal funds
that the Shreveport medical
school, has received, or could
receive, is not very great
because the school is still
small, he explained.
This year's subsidy from
the federal government
totalled $300,000, a small
percentage of the budget, he
said. That will make any
n e c e s s a r y financial
adjustments easier, he said.
In some of the larger
medical schools, for example,
the money is used in the
budget for salaries or other
recurring expenses, he noted.
The pending legislation,
which modifies a more far -
reaching measure originally
presented, was a topic among
medical school leaders at a
meeting last week in
Washington of the Association
of American Medical Schools,
he said.
