Medical School Enrollment Up
For the 11th consecutive year, U.S. medical school enrollment is up as colleges seek to meet the growing demand for doctors.
First-year enrollment reportedly climbed 2 percent over 2008 and now totals nearly 18, 400 students, according to the Scripps Howard News-Service. That accompanies the news that four new medical schools opened in 20009.
The President of the Association of American Medical Colleges told the reporter that residency training slots need to increase to accommodate more medical school students.
