2007: Largest Medical School Class Ever
Staff Writers
The 2007 entering class to U.S. medical schools is the largest in the nation’s history, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.
The number of first-year enrollees totaled almost 17,800 students, a 2.3 percent increase over 2006, while more than 42,300 individuals applied to enter medical school in 2007, an increase of 8.2 percent over 2006.
Nearly 32,000 were first-time applicants, while the number of black male applicants and Hispanic male applicants both increased by 9.2 percent.
And, the number of black males who ultimately were accepted and enrolled in medical school increased by 5.3 percent, a rate nearly double that of the first-year entrant increase overall.
So, how will this doctor-pipeline affect – if at all – the current healthcare supply-demand equation?
