"op-ed"?
What in the world does that mean????
I saw that on a piece of article on a very renowned US website, which goes as
"In a May 2011 New Your Times op-ed, the two doctors said M.D. Programs could be free if the suspended stipends for
students in specialty training programs."
Can anybody offer an explanation?
And, what's confusing are the ensuing sentences:
"Since a specialist can earn $325,000 annually compared to a primary care doctor's $190,000, Bach and Kocher said specialists could forgo their stipends without too much pain."
Why would they say that the students in specialty training programs can live without their stipends since they obviously are just students at the time and not yet specialists? THAT SO DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME!

As for your other question, you have not given enough text. Nothing there says they are still students, and a stipend is not normally a student income; it is payment for a normally unpaid job, so presumably they are also working as specialists or primary-care doctors.
