Student Debt

Becoming a doctor is a noble and rewarding profession, but it’s no secret that the path to getting there is a long and expensive one. From tuition to living expenses, the cost of medical school can be overwhelming, and it can take years to pay off the debt.

When doctors have high levels of debt, they may be more likely to choose higher-paying specialties over those that are in greater need. And when patients can’t afford the care that they need, it can lead to worse health outcomes and higher healthcare costs in the long run.
