My wife and most of our friends are physicians and I don’t know anyone with $750k in debt.

The average debt is a little over $200k. Only 30% of graduates have over $300k in debt and they are considered high debt graduates.

Family Medicine salaries are above $200k in every state in the nation for full time doctors.

None of the doctors I know come from families with generational wealth.

Here is the nationwide average for resident salaries by year and its higher in higher cost of living areas.

Program year 1—$68,166.

Program year 2—$70,499.

Program year 3—$73,301.

Program year 4—$77,593.

Program year 5—$81,807.

Program year 6—$84,744.

Program year 7—$89,187.

Program year 8—$94,215.

Your entire picture is inaccurate.
