MEDICAL STUDENT DEBT ACCOUNTS FOR LOW MINORITY ENROLLMENT
More than eighty percent of all graduate medical students are in debt. The median debt for graduates who owe public medical schools a debt is $100,000 and for those who owe private schools for their education is $135,000.

What is worse is that these groups account for twenty-five percent of the US population
