Physician Education Debt and the Cost to Attend Medical School summarizes the state of education debt for medical school graduates and the attendance costs of medical schools. Education debt is the sum of both medical school debt and premedical/college debt; they are combined because the sum is the amount a medical school graduate must repay.
The report covers education debt differences by type of school attended, gender, race and ethnicity, premedical and noneducation debt, and grants and scholarships; the role of financial factors in specialty choice; and the economics of repayment given the array of federal repayment plans available.
