[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 563969, member: 14557"] But do they still fill the seats on medication schools? As I said, we too have shortage and it can't be a price. Our universities have free tuition (okay, I think they do have something like yearly 150 dollar registering and health care fee) and kids get living stipends that cover most of the living costs (summer jobs or little help from parents may be needed, but my friends who have kids in uni usually help them with 200 hundred dollars or something. Possible for most average families and if not, kids can take loans.) And there are certainly enough kids applying to medication schools and really smart ones too. Entrance exams are brutal and only 5-10% gets in. And still we end up short with doctors especially in certain areas of the country and with certain specialities. And there doesn't seem to be any excess doctors anywhere. Of course we do loose some to other countries at least for some years, but still it is a mystery. of course most of our young doctors are female and we do have very long parental leaves, almost all spend at least a year home with the baby, most longer, up to three years. So if your avearage young doctor has three kids every three years, she could easily be out of service nine years. And with the smaller towns they apparently have difficult time finding doctors because significant others are having difficulties finding jobs. [/QUOTE]
