Medical student debt and major life choices other than specialty.

Conclusions Medical student debt and particularly debt relative to peers at the same institution appears to influence the way that students approach major life choices like when to start a family, when to buy a home, and what specialty to choose. Future research should take into account cost of attendance when looking for the impact of medical student debt on major life choices. PMID: 28440132 [PubMed]
