In late 2011 there was a lot of buzz on SDN about the proposed GME cuts.
I found this thread to be particularly informative http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=868923
I am matriculating in August 2012, and as of now the only speculation that I have been able to receive forecast the 2016 class being the first to feel the punch. I am concerned that medicine might not be the smartest path to take right now assuming that residency matching would become out of reach for a large percentage of the 2016 class.
Have any current students been updated on anything more specific as to the actual impact of the budget cuts?
