Abstract
AMONG young physicians with outstanding debts for their medical education at the time of graduation, the average debt was $46,224 in 1990, an increase of 77 percent since 1980, after adjustment for inflation.1 The increase in debt burden is of concern to medical educators, health policy makers, and of course medical students and physicians themselves.2 , 3Keywords
