Rising educational debt may discourage entry into primary care and practice in safety net settings, but little is known about participation in loan repayment programs that are thought to be part of the solution. A survey of 2052 recent family physician residency graduates found that 30% pursued loan repayment, only a portion of which is tied to service obligations, suggesting opportunities for research and areas for the attention of policymakers.
不断增加的教育债务可能会阻碍人们进入初级保健领域并在保障网医疗机构中执业，但对于被认为是解决方案一部分的贷款偿还计划的参与情况，人们知之甚少。对 2052 名最近的家庭医生住院医师项目毕业生进行的一项调查发现，有 30%的人选择了偿还贷款，但其中只有一部分与服务义务挂钩，这表明有机会开展研究，并需要政策制定者关注一些领域。
