U.S. MD Sets Plan in Motion to Educate Doctors in Europe

Posted by Kathy Quan Aug 23, 2006

Once educated in Europe, the MDs will return to practice in the U.S. Dr. Kaushal's plan is to help educate more doctors to solve the looming shortage of physicians in the U.S.

As Baby Boomers age and the demands for more medical care increases, the shortage of physicians will become a crisis if nothing is done to help avert the problem now.

Competition for admission as well as the tremendously high costs of medical school keep many students out of these programs. Dr. Kaushal was educated in Hungary. He hopes to place 100 students in school in Bulgaria by 2007. The tuition room and board costs there are only $10,000 per year.
