With medicine being one of the most expensive programmes offered by universities, Clarke explains the bleak reality of many healthcare hopefuls. Clarke visualizes the long term benefits this may have in expanding access to healthcare which will result in a healthier population. Advocating also for a better compensation rate, Clarke says certain incentives such as housing benefits should be provided.
