It varies. The average medical school debt is somewhere around $350,000 and the total amount of money needed to go to med school is over 1 million. Medical students also need an additional $10,000 for those "extra" things like basic lab coats and clinic supplies (not including your intensive care kit you'll use as a 3rd year). But no one said it would be easy!Author: James V. Standifer, Physical oceanographer

The majority of medical school graduates will incur over $200,000 in debt. The median amount owed by family medicine attendees is right at the national average of ~$191k (according to an article published in BAMJ). However, it's important to note that because the cost of medical school varies so much depending on what program you attend and whether or not there are scholarships involved, this figure should only be seen as a reference point.Author: Wilbur S.

The simple answer is that it depends. If one includes the cost of living and study materials, obtaining a medical education can easily cost $130-150,000. This doesn't include any other costs students incur while studying--perhaps for research or volunteering outside of school--which will add considerably to this amount. The final sticker price can be anywhere from $25-250,000 (or more). All sorts of variables such as major and institution size make an enormous difference in how much it'll end up costing you to attend medical school.
