The six-week clerkship for third year psychiatry students at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School usually comes with extra cost: About $150 in textbooks, according to the university.
But Rutgers thinks it can soon slash that price tag and the cost of dozens of other textbooks so low that the new course materials will cost less than a student's lunch.
"Instead of $150 worth of textbooks, we can reduce the cost to under $5," said Petros Levounis, professor and chair of the Department of Psychiatry.
