Yes, and I think because it's a disincentive to work in groups, particularly academically. From a radiology point of view, academic delivery of services in radiology is all done by groups.
I think we'd have a hard time attracting people to academic groups. I think it will have impacts on the ability to educate future radiologists. Also, we educate not only radiologists but subspecialists of all natures, such as surgeons, neurologists, and those in orthopedics, etc.
As well, it's going to have an impact on research, because the people who are doing research are those in academic centres, so if it's harder to attract people into the academic world, then it's going to be harder to get those things done. There are a lot of committed people who will stay and suck it up, but it's going to be hard over time. It's going to be a disincentive to get people to come and work in those circumstances.
Also, there's the delivery of comprehensive care. For example, I'm a neuroradiologist. I only look at the brain and the spine. As you know, in order to deliver full-body, full patient care, we need all kinds of subspecialists if we want to provide expert care. Or we could have all general radiologists who just provide general level care, but it's not as expert as subspecialized care. This way, we can bring subspecialists together in groups and provide full-body service, so to speak, without paying a penalty.
