In New York, the Medical University has introduced free education for all its students.

The New York University Medical School (NYU) has announced that it will cover the cost of student education, regardless of their merits or financial condition, worrying about large graduate student loans.

The NYU initiative comes at a time when access to higher education is becoming an increasingly urgent problem, and some graduates pay student loans of thousands of dollars, writes New York Times.

To date, much of the effort has been focused on helping students cover bills for tennessee state schools and biennial and four-year schools in New York at the expense of scholarships Excelsior. This scholarship will be able to cover the costs of training students from families with incomes up to $ 125 thousands.

Medical schools have also begun to worry that high-debt students are increasingly taking high-paying professions, rather than pursuing careers in family medicine, pediatrics and research.

In view of this, NYU announced a plan for new students and their families, offering scholarships to all students for full tuition. Thus, it may encourage other top medical schools to follow suit.

The plan entered into force immediately and covers all current and future students. The cost of annual training is approximately $ 55 000. 93 students and 350 students enrolled in their first year of study, who are left to study for up to three years for a degree.

However, this plan does not cover campus fees, study materials, and meals, which averages $ 27 000.

About 62% of students at New York University School of Medicine are issued by student loan debtors. Their average debt per 2017 year was $ 184 000.

According to Julie Fresnay, senior director of student financial services at the Association of American Medical Colleges, a non-profit organization representing medical schools, only a few institutions tried to do free medical education.

At David Jeffen Medical School of the University of California, Los Angeles, a fund worth 100 million dollars, announced several years ago, pays the entire cost of education for all four years, including tuition fees, fees, books and living expenses for about 20 percent of its pupils. But this program is based on merit, not on necessity.

Meanwhile, a small medical school affiliated with Case University West Reserve at the Cleveland Clinic covers tuition fees and fees for its five-year research-oriented program.

Most of the approximately 20 000 students per year enrolled in American medical schools receive substantial federal loans to support their research. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, in 2017, the average debt for medical graduates was $ 192 000. The average cost of attending a medical school, including living expenses, was $ 60 945 per year for a public medical school and $ 82 278 for a private medical school.
