It is my plan to start medical school next year, and I am concerned about health insurance. Since I can not work, I know that some school do provide health insurance, but is it including in tuition? And how exactly does it work? Is it the type of insurance that is limited to only the school's health care system or is it broader? Please help.

It depends on what state you are in, but generally speaking, the only advantage of a school plan is that it is guaranteed issue. Most school sponsored policies are limited benefit ($50,000 or so) and your primary care provider is the campus clinic. The cost is in addition to tuition, and if you are like most of us, added on to your student loan.
The advantage to an individual plan is that you own the policy – not the university, or for that matter not your employer either. When you graduate you will still have insurance. An individual policy probably costs less as well.

I know that medical school housing is available either on-campus or off-campus or both, depending on the school. So, is there a section of your tuition that goes to room & board, since you aren't allowed to work in Medical School. Also, can the money alotted for room & board under tuition be used for housing other than on-campus. For example, if there is on-campus housing available, but you choose to live off-campus, will you get your room and board money taken out of the tuition and given back to spend on housing?

Now, when you look at the "quote" for the cost of medical school, there will be a separate box for cost of living and housing. It is NOT included in your tuition. You choose where you live, and tution does not change at all. I'd recommend buying a house or condo, because you'll be living there for 4-8 years. Also, nows a good time to buy during the housing slump, and you'll beable to sell for higher in 4 years.

I have 3 years left to graduate nursing in the Philippines. Can anyone suggest me a medical school in the US? How much is the tuition fee and other expenses annually? I plan to take cardiology as a specialty in the US. How much will I spend? What possible subjects will I be taking?

i don't know how to pay for med school becuse its very expensive and i don't want to get loan for that because it will be very huge at the end …..just give me your opinion tanks..

Everyone in medical school has loans, but the salaries you earn at the end more than adequately allow you to pay them back. Physicians are rarely hard up for money, even though they all took out extensive loans. Think of the loans as an investment in your future. There really is no other good way to do this.

I have admission in two med schools, one is a great school, top tier and reputable, and the other is an average med school. I need to reject one by next week.
However, the avaerage med school is offering me full tuition scholarship while the other isnt giving any. I know the school you graduate from matter alot in most cases, how omportant is this as regards medical school. I need urgent advice on this.

Thanks

well first off, congrats, getting into two schools AND a full tuition scholarship is quite impressive.

I have been told (by doctors) that the med school you go to does not matter, and I would believe this to be true. there is a huge doctor shortage, you aren't going to get denied a job or something b/c you went to a state school instead of an ivy league. where you do your residency is more important. med schools will all basically teach you the same thing. a more prestigious school may give you better networking and connections to get a good residency, especially if you want to do something competitive like plastics or dermatology. if you want to be a GP, doesn't matter as much.

I'd say go for the full tuition one, however, if you are going to become a doctor, you won't have a hard time paying off your loans, so don't worry about that. if you are a dermatologist or surgeon or something similar, you will make enough money after your residency to pay off your loans. if you are a GP, there are programs to help pay off your loans if you will work in a rural or more impoverished area.

go to the school you like better for atmosphere, area, climate, class size, connections, whatever.
