Why does the medical school application process have to be so long/early?

The median in family practice is $176,000. Drop it to $123K with a minimum of $100K (current bottom 10% make 140K). Cry me a river.

The solution will be to offer incentives to new grads to locate in areas that are underserved and to give bonuses to pay off school loans and to get started in practice but not use that additional amount as a baseline from which raises are calculated.

As more physicians are salaried employees rather than entrepreneurs/ small business owners, salaries will decline. The move to big insurance exchanges run by the gov't for the poor and working poor is going to exacerbate this trend.

Some kids make 100K straight out of college. They also don't have the six fig med debt to worry about.
