Correction

In the publication “Is Academic Medicine a Financially Viable Career? Exploring Financial Considerations and Resources,” some data were misrepresented in the second paragraph of the Introduction. The paragraph should read: The financial burden of loans and perceived low academic salaries may dissuade some students from pursuing academic medicine. From 2000 to 2010, the mean medical student debt rose at a rate nearly triple that of inflation.6 Debt continues to rise, as median medical student debt in 2018 was found to be $200,000.7 High levels of education debt may impact some graduates in choosing a primary care career,8 which leads to speculation that high education debt might result in some graduates avoiding a career in academia. The AAMC graduation questionnaire in 2009 showed that 22% of graduates said that education debt had a strong or moderate influence on their specialty choice.9 On the References list, item 9 should be: 9.
