In this video, Poor and in Medical School, I touch on the very real situation of having to rely on student loans and student loan debt for medical students who come from low income backgrounds. Each year many students are accepted into medical school some of which who come from more modest means. So how does one make it work? This is a cautionary tale on borrowing so you don't get into insurmountable debt. I hope to encourage and advise students whose parents can’t help support your medical school education financially. Sometimes it is harder when your poorer and without the guidance, you can get into massive debt. However, this video will not give you advice on how to repay your medical school loans after you graduate, If you find a great video on it mention it in the comments so we can all check it out! Thanks for watching!


My name is Dr. Karen Francois and I am a 5th year Attending physician based out of NY. These stories will chronicle my life with Anesthesia, as an Anesthesiologist and home life with my husband and 3 children. Through these glimpses into my life I hope to inspire and motivate young women or men into seriously considering Anesthesia as a career choice.
I am a Doctor and I was born and raised in the projects in the Bronx, NY and I made it to become a highly respected physician. If I can do it then any one else in my situation can do the same.
