I just saw this on MSNBC.com and thought it was interesting. Basically the University of Central Florida is opening up a new medical school and are giving the new incoming class of 40 a free 4 year ride. The dean who is a Harvard grad and received a full ride there wants to give back (not with her own money of course) but from $7 million in donations. She thinks that without having to worry about paying for medical school, these students will be able to concentrate on becoming better doctors and ones that will be more tempted to enter primary care fields due to not having any medical school debt.
So my question to everybody here is if you were one of these students would you be more tempted to consider primary care making less but with no debt or still consider a specialty or subspecialty field making more money but having a lot more debt? Keep in mind who knows what is going to happen with the salaries in the near future.

Ohh and I love how the guy in the video says they attract the best students with the first one accepted had a 4.0 and a perfect MEDCAT score!!!
