Zayv1 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Stanford, Princeton, and Harvard were offering free tuition a few years ago (for undergrad, far as I can tell). If only I were a few years younger I would probably be all in for free medical school. My two biggest considerations between PA vs MD were cost and time, and NYU just lopped off one. I figured the free med school concept to address physician shortage would make bridge programs more relevant/prevalent. But I don't know the system through and through.

In fact one of our least performing FM docs makes about 350k. Our highest performing gets almost 500k. We just hired a new doc fresh out of residency (in fact he's taking boards this week) who is making 280k without bonuses right now! As a Primary Care PA I make as much if not more (according to recent conversations with colleagues and friends and the AAPA Salary report) than some of my EM and Surgical PA colleagues. And I work 4 days a week (32 hr weeks) if I worked 40h I would make another 40k per year but love my schedule. So Primary Care does not necessarily suck as everyone makes it sound.
