There is a letter in the Daily Telegraph 05 Nov.
a few bits from it
It is an extreme case but I hope you do not need a maxillofacial sugeon in the future.
These surgeons have to do TWO full medical courses. 90K plus all living costs £30K.
Take home pay £29K then loan payment of £8640. A mortgage with £120K debt after 19 years of training?
Is anyone out listening to what is going to happen re med students?
IMO in the future only offspring of rich parents will do medicine.
I supported my daughter through med school for six years.
This included a "recommend you take" intercalated degree but of course no goverment funding for a second degree so added support required.
