[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is also discouraging because I wouldn’t know what to tell a young person that wants to do primary care medical care. Doctors doing primary care don’t make enough to cover their med school loans. 10 years ago a lot of people were telling those kids to get a NP degree, which I understood to be a six year program (4undergrad plus 2 masters) with a significant clinical component. By cheapening that field, they’ve left bright young people interested in primary care without any real good options. [/quote] Something that would be nice is if Bloomberg and others, when giving billions to medical schools for free tuition, instead give free tuition only for those who go into primary care/family practice. There is no need to cover the tuition for those who go into high-paying specialties, where they will quickly make enough to repay their medical school loans and go on to be millionaires.[/quote]
