Race and Socioeconomic Status in Medical School Choice and Indebtedness.

Bazzoli, Gloria J.; And Others

Journal of Medical Education, v61 n4 p285-92 Apr 1986

The effectiveness of the federal health manpower programs of the 1960s and 1970s in increasing access to medical education is examined. The results suggest that individuals with small resources were able to enter even the most expensive medical schools without incurring substantially greater debt than individuals with more family resources.
