Forty Years of Litigation Involving Medical Students and Their Education: II. Issues of Finance.

Helms, Lelia B.; Helms, Charles M.

Academic Medicine, v66 n2 p71-76 Feb 1991

Analysis of 110 federal and state adjudication cases from 1950-89 revealed a substantial rise in disputes over financing medical education. Medical school graduates had little success in these cases. A need for counseling, particularly concerning consequences of timing in service obligations and of some loan programs, is seen. (Author/MSE)
