From a report: School officials worry that rising tuition and soaring loan balances<\/i> are pushing new doctors into high-paying fields and contributing to a shortage of researchers and primary care physicians. Medical schools nationwide have been conducting aggressive fundraising campaigns to compete for top prospects, alleviate the debt burden and give graduates more career choices. NYU raised more than $450 million of the roughly $600 million it estimates it will need to fund the tuition package in perpetuity, including $100 million from Home Depot founder Kenneth Langone and his wife, Elaine. The school will provide full-tuition scholarships for 92 first-year students \u2014 another 10 are already covered through M.D.\/PhD programs \u2014 as well as 350 students already partway through the M.D.-only degree program.<\/p>\n
