It depends: Not on what type of doctor you are, but what school you go to. My sister went to a state school, she graduated with about $150, 000 in debt. I graduated debt free from undergrad due to academic scholarships; however, i went to a private medical school and i'm over $300, 000 in debt. (not counting the interest i will have to pay off.). So...If you are going into medicine for the $$$, think twice.

Most owe $1-200,000: This is highly variable, depending on whether one attends public or private colleges ; whether one receives financial aid. Anesthesiologists owe the same as any other doc as once one starts specialty training they earn money. The average doctor graduating in 2012 owed $166, 750, 79% have a debt of at least $100, 000 and 62% $150, 000 or more, but 14% have no loans. This cost will certainly increase.
