Lots of approaches available. Lots of scholarships available. US Public Health Service will help pay off loan in exchange for service in a designated medically undeserved area. Military will pay for medical school with similar indenture. Stepwise progression-bachelors in nursing or anything, really, followed by 2 year masters leading to advanced nurse practitioner or physicians assistant license. Medical schools are less expensive in countries where physicians are paid less. I have worked with superb physicians and surgeons who received medical education in India, Pakistan, Russia, Poland, Belgium, Italy, and England. See MDinan's comments regarding FMG issues. Y'all need a guidance counselor-Has daughter completed a pre-med bachelors degree?
