The Effects of Payback and Loan Repayment Programs on Medical Student Career Plans.

Miller, John Bernard; Crittenden, Robert A.

Journal of Rural Health, v17 n3 p160-64 Sum 2001

Survey of 183 University of Washington medical students from Alaska, Montana, and Idaho found half would avoid attending a medical school with mandatory payback, but half thought such a program would increase their chances of returning to their home state.
