"A 2015 Harvard / Johns Hopkins “Doctors Careers Aspiration Study” found more than 1/3 of aspiring students in medical school environments had been discouraged or decided against becoming a doctor because of the 3 year residency requirement. Many considered relocating overseas for earlier career start."
