    Is Medical Student Choice of a Primary Care Residency Influenced by Debt?

    Quote

    Conclusion: There is no association between PC residency choice and debt. We conclude that medical students make residency decisions on the basis of a complex set of factors.

     

    Medscape (likely registration wall) Study is a little bit aged (2006).

    "complex set of factors" includes making bank as a specialist.

    The average medical student is likely $120K in debt after medical school. The average specialist pulls in $100k more per year than a primary care physician.  While there are back end fillers like nurse practitioners and physician assistants for primary care, there is still going to be a huge primary care shortage over the next 20 years under our current care delivery system.

    So the free tuition is great for the students, but it's not solving any macro level problems in health care delivery.

    Great, no internal conflict there. Herbie continues to baffle me with his level of intelligence or lack there of.

    I’m curious how anyone this irresponsible and morally bankrupt has any authority over our tax dollars.

     

    Wait, did I just describe most of our elected officials?

    The republicans certainly have laid their bed, and Trump’s behavior isn’t helping, but this current flip prediction looks like of all the 2016 no way Trump wins projections.

    “Bbbbbut the rules don’t apply to my group” Elitism and the university bubble at its finest. Sorry the relative morality isn’t working out for your NYU bud Diane.
