Suppose that you can get an unsubsidized loan or a subsidized loan for your med school education costs. But if you want a subsidized loan, you have to agree to go into general medicine or family practice. (These loans exist.) Would this convince you to go into general medicine?
I was just thinking about economic incentives and their effect on physician supply. These incentives must work in some way - the loan mentioned above must increase the number of general practitioners. But I'm looking for some anecdotal evidence that they work :wink: So would you choose your career path based on what loans you could get?
