Excerpt<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"A small group of students at Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine will be able to complete their doctorate in three years under a new program.<\/p>\n

Students admitted to the three-year track, which normally takes four years, will receive conditional admittance to a Wright State University residency program, starting with the Departments of Family Medicine and Pediatrics.<\/p>\n

Up to four students per year will be selected for the two spots in family medicine and the two spots in pediatrics.<\/p>\n

Other Wright State specialties may eventually add three-year track options as the effort gets underway. The Boonshoft School of Medicine has been approved to allow up to 10% of the students in each class to be in a three-year track.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a win-win option for a select group of students who know they want to stay in Ohio for residency and practice either family medicine or pediatrics,\u201d stated Dr. Brenda Roman, associate dean for Medical Education.<\/p>\n

The Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine has more than 480 medical students and 465 residents and fellows in 13 specialty areas and 10 sub-specialties.<\/p>\n

Wright State said in an announcement about the program that the students will graduate with less debt due to finishing medical school in just three years. The average four-year cost for public school students is $243,902, according to a 2018 report by the Association of American Medical Colleges, and about 76% of students graduate with debt.<\/p>\n

Interested medical students will apply for the three-year track in January of their first year.<\/p>\n

One major difference between the three-year track and the traditional curriculum is that accelerated students do not take electives. Students in the three-year track will always have the option to opt out and return to the traditional curriculum prior to the match.<\/p>\n

The program may be particularly appealing to non-traditional students at the Boonshoft School of Medicine who already have strong backgrounds working in the medical field, according to Wright State.<\/p>\n
