There are definitely a good number of med students that are born in rich families. During my time in medical school, I met 3 people who were having their debt completely paid off by their family. 1 of them was even given a Ferrari when they got accepted.

I remember looking into colleges having to make choices on prices. There was a private school that had a top 100 med school. I really liked the school but I did the math and I would have been over $400k in debt with scholarships and savings. Compared to an accelerated DO program where my undergrad was basically paid for and I had guaranteed acceptance into med school where my debt would be around $100k or less. It’s hard making decisions as even sacrifices in order to make medical school a reality, but at the end of the day it’s very important you make the best decision for yourself and your future.

Thank you for this content!

Hey Dr. J, great video. Do you have any free resources regarding finding out which med schools have better scholarships or financial aid packages?

What it means is med students tend to have parents who are able to pay for their tuitions. And most medical students are responsible people so whatever debts they have they keep manager and/or pay off fast . It's pretty simple

Could you do anything about forensic medical examiners?

i am writing this hopefully to help somebody. i learned from my older sister. She did not know about all those programs when she started high school. I learned from what she found out in her senior year of high school. I managed to graduate with my bachelor's degree without any debt. In 8th grade, i was worried about how to pay for college. So i made sure my math level was such that I could in High School take all the AP classes they offered and the high school/community college classes they offered for free under the state of Oregon school program. That means i completed 2 years of college credits in high school. Then it turned out that if you got a 3.9 to 4.0 and you went to an in-state university, they honoured those credits and your tuition was halved for the whole 4 years. So I got a 4-year science bachelor's degree in 2 years for less than $10000. Luckily, the college was 5 miles from my house and the buses are free. And i got a research job every quarter( biochemistry major with great GPA) that paid $1000 a semester for about 25-30 hours a week in the lab. i enjoyed it. and it gave me experience. in Oregon, the program "Running Start "is huge and allows you to complete a couple of college years for free if you apply yourself to your studies. You need to have your ducks lined up in middle school and study your butt off in high school right from the get-go and keep an eye on your grades. Treat studying in high school as a $10000 to $20000 / year job. For some reason, school advisors might not tell you about it. If you do not think my comment will help anybody, please delete it. Thanks!

Indeed, I think it depends on the country and the path you decide to follow. I wish financial costs wouldn't be a wall, if I finally decide to study medicine!

It's absurd and if I didn't do the military would have been $400K in the hole, plus compounding through residency and going into primary care. Only update is that federal loan rates for graduates dropped to 4.3-5.3%. Still too much debt, for future students will now grow slightly less :/

I'm surprised Dr. Jabbal didn't mention administrative bloat and admin salaries as a major contributor to rising of costs of tuition.

Can you make a vid on how to leverage scholarships for medical school?

Glad to say that I grew up with nothing. And I am about to go to med school I can say I am perfectly fine with debt. Only because I dream of being a Physician. I know for sure I can figure life out well for me.

Is there any program of loans that let you take out money without adding the compound interests until you get paid?

Interest should be deferred while in residency. Banks would still make money off those loans bc not every doctor aggressively pays off their loans upon completion of their residency.

Each year, over 20,000 U.S. students begin medical school. They routinely pay $50,000 or more per year for the privilege, and the average medical student graduates with a debt of over $170,000. That's a lot of money👍

Here is the real plan: Marry a nurse or PA right before you go into residency and then use 100% of your residency compensation to pay towards your loans and have your spouse financially support you for those 4 years for rent, food, etc. You should have most of your loans paid off by the time you finish residency and then probably really can pay off the final amount of your loans in your first year of practice.
