Is anyone not going to med school because of debt? Not sure what problems this solves.
For the long commitment that doctors make and the debt they take on, they receive basically guaranteed highly paying employment for as long as they wish.
There's also a shortage of medical school spots, we can't create enough doctors.
I think this is probably an attempt to compete with other medical schools for top students. NYU is pretty well respected bit probably loses a lot of candidates to Harvard, Yale, etc.
