High Cost of Medical Education and Training

Video examples of the actual cost of med school

When you see the video and the extreme high cost of medical school and training from the students perspective - it is shocking.

There are lots of reports about the costs of medical training from the perspectives of the governments and universities. Lots of shocks in this report.

Overview of the Cost of Training Health Professionals (2007)

The cost of training medical and other health professionals in Canada is estimated in a 2007 

Funding awarded by the provinces to universities for the training of one medical student for one year ranges between $45,000 and $73,500.13

• Funding awarded by the provinces to train one nurse for one year of a university program ranges from $12,500 to $19,100.

• Funding awarded by the provinces to train one nurse for one year of a college diploma ranges from $9,200 to $14,000.

Association of Canadian Medical Colleges (ACMC) figures: cost of training per medical student per year (2002): $65,000 over a four-year program (2002): $260,000

Canadian Nursing Association (CNA) figures: Cost of training per nursing student per year (2002): $7,700 over a four-year program (2002): $30,000

A 2022 article about Medical school costs by Dr. Kevin Jubbal 

First-year medical students in 2000 paid around $17,000 per year in tuition. When adjusted for inflation, this comes out to about $26,000 per year. 

A first-year medical student starting in 2022 will pay around $55,000 per year in tuition. This is more than double what you would have paid just 20 years ago.

Operating a medical school costs can be broken down into two main categories: instructional costs and educational resources.

Instructional costs range from around $48,000 to $51,000 per student per year and the cost of educational resources ranges from approximately $80,000 to $105,000 per student per year. 

Combined, this is significantly higher than the tuition that most medical students pay each year. Medical schools receive income primarily from four sources: tuition, endowments, government funds, and medical services.

What I learned: In reality the schools charge students from 25 to 40% of the real cost of their medical training and they lose money.

Egale Canada Has Filed Motion to REMOVE FOX NEWS From Canadian Airways

April 4, 2023 - To Vicky Eatrides, Chairperson and CEO of the CRTC:  

Last week, Egale Canada and a prominent Canadian leader for trans rights and inclusion were featured on the infamously incendiary Tucker Carlson Tonight program on the American Fox News Channel. The coverage aimed to provoke hatred and violence against 2SLGBTQI communities, particularly those who are Two Spirit, trans, nonbinary and gender non-conforming (2STNBGN).  

This programming is in clear violation of Canadian broadcasting standards and has no place on Canadian broadcasting networks. Carlson made false and horrifying claims about 2STNBGN people, painting them as violent and dangerous. During the segment, Carlson made the inflammatory and false claim that trans people are “targeting” Christians. To position trans people in existential opposition to Christianity is an incitement of violence against trans people that is plain to any viewer. The segment also contained a range of other malicious misinformation about 2STNBGN people, including that trans people are given preferential treatment in employment and other opportunities. This is clearly an attempt to stoke resentment against 2STNBGN people......

Update to the Open Letter

The CRTC opened a Part 1 Application (2023-0210-8 – Egale Canada) for the removal of Fox News from the list of non-Canadian programming services authorized for distribution. Interested parties and the public can submit their comments through the CRTC’s website until June 2, 2023.

Some of the videos about the complaints:

Jesse talks about the latest effort to remove Fox News from the airways in Canada.

The CRTC is asking Canadians if Fox News should stay on Canadian airwaves.

Should Fox News be banned in Canada?

What I learned - Fox abuses the freedoms available in Canada and the USA - they are mostly opinion shows which should be labeled and fact checked - all hate should be banned. 

Labels on cigarette packages show what damages can be done using the product and gives fair warning to users.

labels for all the broadcast opinion shows about possible misinformation and emotional triggers and deceitful conspiracies and foreign interference and propaganda would help show the damages of watching these types of shows and gives fair warning to users.
