If health care reform is such a disaster (according to Republicans), why would so many more students choose to become family medical doctors? The enrollments are up significantly.

Good news really. More younger people realizing the expansion of access to care will provide for a very good long term vocation.

So even with the promise of loan paybacks, scholarships and stipends, more slots went empty than were filled.

And some that were filled were by those who weren't matched to their desired fields.

Yeah, that's good news all right.

Maybe just maybe this has something to do with it..


"Maybe some of the scholarships we mentioned in our article—“dozens of training programs like Tufts’s around the country, as well as the National Health Service Corps, which pays back loans and hands out scholarships and stipends in exchange for a few years of service in rural areas, where the shortage of primary-care providers is most acute”—are working."
