[quote=Anonymous]Hopefully these med school loan limits will inject some more pressure to control tuition costs. One option would be to make med school three years, which would both cut down on tuition and give doctors another year to work. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/opinion/medical-school-three-years.html Today’s students enter medical school with much more extensive preparation in molecular biology, biochemistry, neuroscience and other STEM fields than their early 20th-century predecessors. Consequently, the traditional two years of classroom study in subjects like anatomy and microbiology have largely been condensed to about 15 months, leaving nearly three years for hands-on hospital training. The final year of medical school has become a loosely structured period spent applying for residency, taking elective courses, visiting hospitals in other cities or volunteering abroad — all while still paying full tuition. In effect, it is a costly gap year.[/quote]
