"Students of foreign medical schools like Ross graduate with higher average debt, $235,000 compared to the average $158,000 owed by graduates of U.S. medical schools, according to an August report to Congress by regulators."
"About 20 percent of Ross graduates fail to land a residency, the key to a license to practice in the United States. If they cannot pay their student debts, taxpayers are left holding the bag."
"Steven Moxley, a former Navy corpsman, graduated from Ross in 2005 but can't get a residency due to low test scores. Now 54, with $250,000 in unpaid loans, Moxley is working construction jobs in the Washington, D.C., area and renting a room from his son. I'm living hand-to-mouth," he said. "I've got debt out the ying-yang."
"The situation is different for Amer Alata, who got his M.D. from Ross in 2007, then quickly washed out of an internal medicine residency — and his prospects of becoming a physician. Now saddled with $470,000 in debt, he's teaching part-time but has never been able to afford a payment, making him one of Ross' official defaults."

In about 5 years time we are going to start seeing a tidal wave of offshore American med school grads coming out of schools like these with 300-400K debt loads. As if that wasn't bad enough many of them will be locked out of residencies. This is because new allopathic and D.O schools are opening up like crazy in the States while the number of residency slots is not budging. Got popcorn?
