AAMC Projects 17% Increase in Med School Enrollment by 2012

The Association of American Medical Colleges today announced that it projects medical school enrollment will grow by 17% in the next five years.  Other points to note:

  • 71 U.S. medical schools plan to expand their class sizes in that period.
  •  This increase still only meets roughly half the anticipated need for physicians by 2030, but is "a step in the right direction."
The AAMC last year recommended a 30% increase in the number of US med school students to meet  the future needs of the growing and aging US population.
