An analysis of an accelerated 3-year MD program at NYU Grossman School of Medicine found that students performed similarly to those in 4-year programs. The program could result in lifetime savings of $250,000 to $400,000 for students. With the aim to reduce student debt and accelerate the time to entering the workforce, the program offers an efficient and cost-effective way to prepare medical students. The implications of a 3-year program on medical education and the healthcare workforce are significant, as it aligns with competency-based education and allows students to enter their career sooner. Future research will focus on tracking the long-term outcomes of students in practice.
