A recent report by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) reported a 2% rise in first-year U.S. medical school enrollments in 2008 over 2007.  This figure marked the highest in history with more than 18,000 students.  While medical school admissions are up, the far reaching physician staffing shortage still remains a concern in the medical community.  “This increase in enrollments signifies that the profession of medicine is still a very appealing career option”, said Onyx M.D. CEO and Chairman Robert Moghim, M.D.  “Despite significant drops in reimbursement, ever increasing regulatory red tape and greater economic uncertainty, a career in medicine seems to stay strong as a ‘hot’ career opportunity.”
