$500,000?
Here are average doctor salaries for 2014 starting at $174,000., This includes doctors who have been in the profession for 30 years. A new doctor makes nowhere near the average, unless they work in the emergency room, the most stressful position available to a doctor. Most would not choose ER work, which is why the pay is about triple the average.

The NHSC does offer a 3 year program to pay their student loans, but they need to be willing to spend another 3 years working in a place where most doctors do not want to live.
