[00:00.04]Most medical students
[00:02.60]at Johns Hopkins University
[00:05.20]in Baltimore, Maryland
[00:07.12]will no longer pay for classes
[00:10.24]thanks to a $1 billion gift
[00:13.52]from Bloomberg Philanthropies.
[00:16.28]Starting in the autumn,
[00:18.64]the gift will cover costs for classes,
[00:22.08]or tuition, for medical students
[00:25.36]who come from families
[00:26.96]earning less than $300,000.
[00:31.16]Living expenses and other costs will be covered
[00:35.28]for students from families who earn up to $175,000.
[00:42.88]Bloomberg Philanthropies said that
[00:45.60]almost two-thirds of all students
[00:48.64]currently seeking a doctor of medicine degree
[00:52.20]from Johns Hopkins
[00:53.92]meet the requirements for financial aid.
[00:58.32]And 45 percent of the current class
[01:02.04]will also receive living expenses.
[01:05.64]The school estimates
[01:07.40]that graduates' average total loans
[01:10.56]will decrease from $104,000 currently
[01:15.68]to $60,279 by 2029.
[01:21.84]The gift will also increase financial aid
[01:25.32]for students at the university's schools of nursing,
[01:29.48]public health, and other graduate schools.
[01:33.36]Michael Bloomberg is the founder
[01:36.32]of Bloomberg Philanthropies and Bloomberg LP.
[01:40.80]He said in a statement recently,
[01:44.12]"By reducing the financial barriers
[01:46.92]to these essential fields,
[01:49.32]we can free more students
[01:51.52]to pursue careers they're passionate about
[01:55.12]– and enable them to serve more of the families
[01:58.92]and communities who need them the most."
[02:02.52]Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor,
[02:06.52]received a degree in electrical engineering
[02:10.48]from Johns Hopkins University in 1964.
[02:15.16]Ron Danie
[02:17.44]ls, the president of Johns Hopkins University,
[02:20.96]said the gift will go to the university's endowment
[02:25.32]and all of the money will go directly to students.
[02:30.28]Daniels said that Michael Bloomberg
[02:33.12]had been moved by the difficulties
[02:35.96]that healthcare professionals
[02:37.76]faced during the pandemic
[02:39.92]"and the heroic efforts"
[02:42.52]they made to help American citizens.
[02:45.92]Daniels added about Bloomberg,
[02:49.00]"I think he simply wanted to recognize
[02:52.20]the importance of these fields
[02:54.80]and provide this support
[02:56.96]to ensure that the best and brightest
[02:59.88]could attend medical school
[03:02.16]and the school of nursing and public health."
[03:06.56]Bloomberg Philanthropies
[03:08.36]previously gave $1.8 billion
[03:12.04]to Johns Hopkins in 2018.
[03:15.68]The goal was to make sure
[03:17.84]that undergraduate students
[03:20.04]could go to the school
[03:21.84]regardless of their family's finances.
[03:25.44]Johns Hopkins will be the latest medical school
[03:29.64]to offer free tuition to most
[03:32.68]or all of their medical students.
[03:35.68]In February, Ruth Gottesman, a former professor
[03:40.52]at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine
[03:44.32]and the widow of a Wall Street investor,
[03:48.24]announced that she was giving $1 billion
[03:52.08]to the New York City school.
[03:54.76]The gift meant that four-year students
[03:57.88]immediately received free tuition
[04:00.72]and all other students will be offered
[04:03.44]free tuition in the autumn.
[04:06.96]In 2018, Kenneth and Elaine Langone
[04:11.24]gave $100 million
[04:13.72]to the NYU Grossman School of Medicine
[04:17.60]to make tuition free for all current
[04:20.76]and future medical students.
[04:23.00]The couple gave a second gift
[04:26.20]of $200 million in 2023
[04:30.32]to the NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine
[04:35.64]to guarantee free tuition for all medical students.
[04:40.52]Kenneth Langone is a co-founder of Home Depot,
[04:45.04]a large home improvement company.
[04:48.20]Other medical schools,
[04:50.40]like UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine,
[04:54.84]offer special awards known as
[04:57.80]merit-based scholarships.
[05:00.16]These awards were a result of
[05:02.92]some $146 million
[05:05.96]in gifts from David Geffen,
[05:09.00]a major figure in the recording industry.
[05:12.56]The Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine
[05:16.92]has also offered tuition-free education
[05:20.48]for medical students since 2008.
[05:24.12]Candice Chen of the Milken Institute School
[05:28.24]of Public Health at George Washington University
[05:32.40]has researched the social missions of medical schools.
[05:37.24]Chen believes medical schools
[05:39.76]are not producing enough primary care,
[05:42.92]"mental health specialists as well as the doctors
[05:47.20]who will work in and serve in
[05:50.32]rural and underserved communities."
[05:53.84]Chen said she would have loved to see gifts,
[05:58.08]like those to John Hopkins, NYU and Albert Einstein,
[06:02.88]go to Meharry Medical College in Tennessee, for example.
[06:08.12]The school is a historically Black school
[06:11.60]that has produced many primary care doctors
[06:15.00]who work in communities that have shortages of care.

END OF TRACK. "END OF TRACK." The two men bowed. "Whoever was that person you were talking to?" she enquired, as soon as they stood together. The took of triumph faded from her eyes, she had grown worn and weary. The roses were wilting on the walls, the lights were mostly down now. Hetty, looking in to see if anything was wanted, found herself driven away almost fiercely. I only saw Master Jervie once when he called at tea time, The year 1747 was opened by measures of restriction. The House of Lords, offended at the publication of the proceedings of the trial of Lord Lovat, summoned the parties to their bar, committed them to prison, and refused to liberate them till they had pledged themselves not to repeat the offence, and had paid very heavy fees. The consequence of this was that the transactions of the Peers were almost entirely suppressed for nearly thirty years from this time, and we draw our knowledge of them chiefly from notes taken by Horace Walpole and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. What is still more remarkable, the reports of the House of Commons, being taken by stealth, and on the merest sufferance, are of the most meagre kind, sometimes altogether wanting, and the speeches are given uniformly under fictitious names; for to have attributed to Pitt or Pelham their[112] speeches by name would have brought down on the printers the summary vengeance of the House. Many of the members complained bitterly of this breach of the privileges of Parliament, and of "being put into print by low fellows"; but Pelham had the sense to tolerate them, saying, "Let them alone; they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." Altogether, the House of Commons exhibited the most deplorable aspect that can be conceived. The Ministry had pursued Walpole's system of buying up opponents by place, or pension, or secret service money, till there was no life left in the House. Ministers passed their measures without troubling themselves to say much in their behalf; and the opposition dwindled to Sir John Hinde Cotton, now dismissed from office, and a feeble remnant of Jacobites raised but miserable resistance. In vain the Prince of Wales and the secret instigations of Bolingbroke and Doddington stimulated the spirit of discontent; both Houses had degenerated into most silent and insignificant arenas of very commonplace business. "It certainly will be. Miss Widgeon," answered Maria, with strictly "company manners." "One who has never had a brother exposed to the constant dangers of army life can hardly understand how glad we all feel to have Si snatched from the very jaws of death and brung back to us." "Just plug at 'em as you would at a crow, and then go on your way whistlin'?" persisted Harry. "Hurroo!" echoed Hennessey; "that's the ticket." "Come forward, keeper," continued the baron, "and state how these arrows came into your hands!" "Yes." HoMEJULIA京香2018下载
