Abstract
The financial transition to medical school process is a complex one. This action research project aims to bring to light the financial experiences of medical students at a public midwestern medical school to better understand challenges faced by medical students, particularly low-income and underrepresented in medicine students. Additionally, the purpose of this project is to provide insights that will allow for the creation of a front-end intervention to provide students with solutions for better outcomes. The data for this project was collected through qualitative semi-structured interviews with students enrolled in a medical doctor program at a public mid-western medical school. The findings of this action research project indicate the need for a front-end financial intervention that is individualized for students as well as a need for additional support and education to support students in external scholarship searches.
