Why is medical education so expensive?
Kieran Walsh
摘要：Dear Editor:
The world currently spends $100 billion annually on medical education[1].This seems like a massive amount at a macroeconomic level.At a microeconomic level,medical school tuition fees in many countries are now as high as $14,000 per year.This will seem like a massive amount to an 18-year-old school leaver from an average financial background.Economic depressions make both figures seem even larger-to the state and to the individual.With so much cost at stake-at a financial and human level-I believe that it is worth asking why medical education is so expensive.Searching for the answers leads to some unexpected places.
