Outcomes

We examined the presence and amount of educational debt, which was calculated as the summation of premedical and medical education debt, as reported by graduates within the GQ. We also examined debt-to-income ratios, which we defined as total educational debt on graduation as a proportion of total annual compensation by neurology subspecialty assuming the median debt amount for graduates entering neurology in 2021. This definition is consistent with debt-to-income ratio calculations used for education debt in prior literature.^6,7 Finally, among indebted graduates, we examined the percentage indicating intent to use the US Department of Education's PSLF program.
