I’m sure there are some people who are put off by that but

The average med school debt is half that and only 30% of borrowers end up owning $300k or more.

Fewer than 1% of us med school graduates never find a slot. And that includes people who start families, move into industry etc and voluntarily leave.

The bottleneck is residency slots not med school slots.
