85.944             Medical Education Debt Cancellation in the Face of a Physician Shortage During the COVID-19 Pandemic

MSSNY will seek through legislation, regulation, or executive order to obtain this one-time COVID-related $50,000 reduction in debt from accrued federal loans for all medical students, training physicians, and early career physicians.

MSSNY will forward this resolution to the AMA asking for study of the issue of medical education debt cancellation and to consider the opportunities for integration of this in a broader solution addressing debt for all medical students, physicians in training, and early career physicians.  (HOD-2021 AMA #4, referred to Council, adopted 4/15/21)
