Summary: The tuition fee for medical schools has been increasing at a much higher rate than inflation over the past 20 years. This study investigated the impact of an increased number of out-of-state matriculants at state-funded medical schools, potentially displacing in-state students and causing them to attend more expensive out-of-state or private schools. The findings showed a significant increase in out-of-state matriculants, with a corresponding increase in tuition costs and average indebtedness.
