Is encouraging even more grade-grubbing and test-cramming among pre-meds the most efficient use of money for medical students?
If it is desired to use the money to help medical students, then, considering the projected shortage of primary care physicians, probably partially because debt-laden MDs may not be able to afford to go into the lower paying primary care specialties, perhaps it may be more worthwhile to use the money to offer special student loans to medical students whose principal and interest are gradually forgiven if the student works in a primary care specialty after completing residency.
