[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because the AMA has significant control over the number of accredited medical schools and the number of seats they have.[/quote] Which explains why the U.S. has by far the highest paid doctors in the world. [/quote] I don't understand the logic- what's the point of tightly controlling the number of medical school graduates per year in order to retain their profession's high compensation, when a good chunk (did someone upthread say 25%?) of the residency spots are left open for foreign medical graduates to fill? Why not educate Americans to fill close to 100% of the residency spots?[/quote] Because the AMA lobby has the power to influence the number of accredited medical schools, number of seats, and government funded residencies, but not to have overall control over immigration.[/quote]
