    We could write an entire book on the complexities of medical school financing… Actually, we did. Find that here. And another relevant one here.

    The snapshot shows the various sources of medical school revenue, and how that has changed in recent years. You’ll see that, despite robust growth in total revenues during the last 10 years, the data reflect a further concentration of revenues from practice plans and hospitals. Support from the clinical enterprise has allowed much of academic medicine to maintain its other missions.
