re: NYU will offer free tuition for all its medical students

Other schools have programs in place for incentivizing people going into primary care fields.

LSU NOLA did (or still does?). Was an agreement to enter into a primary care field for X amount of years in the rural areas of the state. Not sure if it made too much a difference in terms of people who chose to go into primary care fields or not. I only knew a few people who did it in my class when it was available.

I imagine NYU med students being highly motivated in general and that often drives people to want to seek the more prestigious sub-specialty fields regardless. So I'd be interested to see if this make much of a difference at all.
