The AAMC announced last week:
An annual survey on medical school expansion, conducted by the AAMC, indicates that first-year enrollment in U.S. medical schools is estimated to grow 21 percent (3,400 students per year) by 2012 to 19,900 students.
According to survey results, more than 86 percent of existing schools have already expanded the number of first-year students or plan to do so within the next five years.
