- Summary:
-
This survey of studies of medical school costs was made in order to evaluate and compare the methodologies and findings of those studies. The survey covered studies of one or more medical schools that either produced figures for average annual per-student cost of education and/or discussed the methodologies and problems involved in producing such figures. Many problems can prevent the accurate estimation of per-student costs of education in medical schools. This is especially true if one is attempting to estimate an average cost or construct a "cost curve" using data from many schools; or if one is attempting inter-school comparisons. Studies of medical school costs have utilized three general methodologies. These have been labeled "net amount contributed,""costing," and"input-output analysis." No one of these appears to be clearly (empirically) more accurate than the others. However, the input/output method would appear to be the most accurate. The empirical results of these studies show no consistent pattern of costs of education over time. One might expect that these cost estimates, when adjusted for inflation, would show some rising trend due to increasing quality in the medical education process. (Author/PG)
