SECTION 92650




92650.  (a) It is the intent of the Legislature to review, during
the annual budget process, the current University of California
health sciences program and to assess the following with regard to
General Fund support of the system:
   (1) The appropriate number and balance between primary and
nonprimary care residency positions.
   (2) The relationship between the General Fund resource capacity to
support the current physician output of the system and the costs to
the General Fund of an oversupply of physician specialists.
   (3) The current and projected pattern of health manpower training
in relationship to future supply and demand projections.
   (4) The distribution of University of California medical school
graduates with regard to placement in areas, and service to
populations, underserved by the medical profession.
   (b) It is the intent of the Legislature to monitor the new,
comprehensive plan currently under development by the University of
California for programs in health professions education, and, upon
the completion of that plan, to monitor, during the annual budget
process, both the compliance of the university with its plan and the
plan's relevance to the state's need for health professionals and
health care services.
