[quote=Anonymous]The number of medical school slots is constrained bc residency slots are funded by the federal government through health programs (like medicare and medicaid). IN partnership with the AMA medical schools match the number of admitted students to the number of funded residencies for post-graduate training bc that is what is needed to be a good practicing physician and the cost of delivering this training is very high. When the healthcare system (broadly speaking) hires foreign doctors who are already trained they are finding a way to fill the need for more doctors while bypassing the cost of training them. If we want more "American doctors" we need to spend more money. -- Former Senate HELP committee staffer[/quote]
