For real. At least in the US medical school is incredibly expensive (on top of undergrad being really expensive too). Going to school is a huge risk, because if you find you can’t handle it half way through, you’ve got all that debt,without the job to actually pay it. We’ve got so many incredible potential doctors and nurses that just can’t afford to go to school

It also takes 2x longer than most of the world to get licensed.
Yep, that AMA is proof the licensing organization shouldn’t also be the union.
We need to pressure schools to open more seats.
