Why medical school should be free (NYT Op/Ed)


Recommended Posts

It's nearly impossible to make medical school completely free. Though making medical school free would relieve doctors of the burden of student debt and gradually shift the work force away from specialties and toward primary care. It would also attract college graduates who are discouraged from going to medical school by the costly tuition.

Many countries have loan forgiveness programs for doctors entering primary care. Some have incentive programs that will include bonuses for fresh graduate. This helps the needy students financially and also drive their focus more towards studies rather than their economic status.
