Monday, January 23, 2023 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Dear John,

Please join us on Friday, February 3, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm Eastern for a special forum with the Council on Health Care Spending and Value to hear from a panel of experts on opportunities for moderating health care spending and growth. The event will be open to all and you can register here.
Medical Student Debt
To better understand barriers to diversity in the physician workforce, Louisa Holaday and coauthors investigate debt among medical residents by race and ethnicity.

They determine that disparities in debt among postgraduate medical resident trainees mirror broader national trends in wealth disparity.
Black trainees were mostly likely to have debt, and "all trainees from populations that are underrepresented in medicine were generally more likely to have debt compared with Asian and White trainees."

Holaday and coauthors acknowledge the country’s interest in supporting a diverse health care workforce and emphasize that "addressing student loan debt may make matriculation to medical school, and success throughout medical training, more attainable for a diverse group of Americans."

Today, we released a Call for Submissions for a new Forefront series – "Provider Prices in the Commercial Sector."

Two articles were published today as part of the series.

Erin Fuse Brown argues that a common set of definitions can help clarify the policy debate about how to control private health care prices and enable stakeholders to assess the impact of any proposed policy change and identify which policy levers are being pulled.

Michael Chernew and Victoria Berquist discuss several underexplored burning questions in the commercial price debate that deserve attention.
