In replication to student concerns...

In replication to student concerns, the Association of American Medical society s (AAMC) is addressing significant increases in medical seminary tuition and student debt during the past 20 years. The report, "Medical academy Tuition and Young Physician Indebtedness," released in April, called for establishment of a committee to explore ways to cut down education costs and increase the ability of graduates to repay sin during residency and early practice. The committee will include financial aid officers, scholar affairs officers, students, residents, and a medical economist. According to the report, graduates of public and private medical seminarys had a median amount of obligation between $100,000 and $135,000. The unbroken report is available online at http://www.aamc.org/publications.
