Big bang for medical school bucks
Massachusetts medical schools and teaching hospitals rank fourth in the nation for economic impact in their states.
Together the schools and hospitals generate $29 billion in direct and indirect spending in Massachusetts, behind New York, Pennsylvania and California, according to a report by the Association of American Medical Colleges. The group's analysts determined that for every $1 spent by a medical school or teaching hospital in 2005, an additional $1.30 was spent on other businesses or individuals.
Nationwide AAMC members had a combined economic impact of $451 billion.
