3rd year med student here worried about fiancials. Very interested in neurosurgery but I will have over $400,000 in debt from undergrad and med school (dont come from a wealthy family) Interested in neuro-oncology. What is the job prospect and starting salary for a neurosurgeon in neurooncology? Internet sources are so varied. About how much does each resident pay per month during residency on student loans (lets assume average medical debt is $250,000) ? How much are starting bonuses? Do residents get starting bonuses? Is it possible to buy a house during residency with this much loans?
