Medical School Tuition and Young Physician Indebtedness (2004)
This report was requested by the AAMC's Executive Council in response to concerns in the medical education community about rapidly rising tuition levels and high and increasing indebtedness of medical graduates. The report provides a two-decade perspective on rising tuition and student debt and examines availability of loans, the value of a medical education as an investment in human capital, and the ability of young physicians to service the substantial debts.
