Deal wants 400 more slots for residents at Georgia hospital

"The morning after Gov. Nathan Deal announced his goal of 400 more positions for new doctors to serve their clinical residencies, the Board of Regents created a committee for doling out the money he promised. Deal, in his State of the State Address to a joint session of the General Assembly, asked legislators for funds to create the residency slots. That means $1.2 million in the first year, growing over four years to a total of $22 million."
