Fewer U.S. med students choose primary care

A survey of nearly 1,200 fourth year students shows only 2 percent plan to work in primary care internal medicine, down from 9 percent in 1990, amid debt, paperwork, and time pressures. Family medicine posted the lowest average salary at 186000 and 42 percent of residency slots filled by U.S. students, signaling potential shortages.

Medical Training Costs and Incentives Face Strain

The Journal of the American Medical Association reports paid orthopedic incentives at 436000 and residency slots 94 percent filled by U S students while medical school costs rise. Last year graduates carried about 140000 in debt, up nearly 8 percent, and Medicare fee schedules favor procedures over office visits, risking primary care.
