It would be quite something if they offered to feed and house the students in New York City for 4 years as well, I don’t disagree.

My hope is that the best and brightest students will choose NYU - already a top tier school even before this tuition waiver - prompting other schools to follow suit with fundraising or leveraging their enormous endowments to similarly lift the burden from young physicians, freeing them to follow their heart and not just their fiscal viability. A healthier balance of primary care docs to specialists would help us keep overall healthcare costs better contained. And I am speaking as a specialist myself - 25 years ago I did the math just like many others do.
