I agree @Noel7 especially considering the insurance they need to cover them.

Actually, I've worked with a lot of doctors over a lot of years and for the most part , most of them either come from wealthy families, go to school in other countries where it is much cheaper than in the USA, or have some sort of schlorship or grant or something to pay for it. Seldom does anyone try to pay to go to med school in the uSA using college loans. The debt would be disabling. Most are smart enough to know that is not how to pay for med school. Most go outside the USA. Most students who graduate med school in the US are aliens from wealthy families.

We are fortunate to have a very good medical school in Oklahoma, and a DO program at the other state university. We have lots of excellent doctors in the area who graduated from these programs. And we have lots of PA's too from programs in-state--and I think that is a great field and use of resources. I use them often for the flu or something like that.
