NEJM: Are We in a Medical Education Bubble Market?

[i_wanna_be_Brown]

<p>From wikipedia:

In Japan, medical schools are faculties of universities and thus they are undergraduate programs that generally last for six years. Admission is based on an exam taken at the end of high school and an entrance exam at the university itself, which is the most competitive.

So it sounds like it is the same as europe.</p>

<p>How would it work? I mean I haven’t thought the whole idea all the way through so in no way am I implying it’s definitely the answer or something we should definitely do but my first thought it just like medicare pays for residency training or the NIH pays for MSTP, HHS should pay the tuition for med school matriculants. Things like housing, textbooks, and other COA things would still fall on the students.</p>
