Good move at UM

Kudos to University of Miami Medical School Dean Pascal Goldschmidt on restructuring the school.

The average UM med school student graduates with close to a $200,000 debt, deterring him or her from going into lower-paying but much-needed primary care, opting instead for the more lucrative specialties to pay off the education debt.

With UM med school administrators drawing salaries in the $800,000 range, eliminating positions and decreasing others to a very comfortable $400,000 range should free up enough money to allow many students to graduate debt free. As an alumnus in solo family medicine concerned about the lack of future doctors to care for my patients, I feel that the dean is right on target.
