[quote=Anonymous]It might be a starting point, but it's meaningless on its own. If you increase medical student admissions, where are you going to find the clinical slots for training?

Concierge medicine doctors are usually not training students. Private equity sees it as a drain on efficiency and a loss on profit.

[b]The Crisis of Clinical Education for Physicians in Training[/b]
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6797035/

[quote] The number of allopathic medical students enrolled in the [u]first year class has increased by 29% since the year 2002–2003[/u], with over half of the growth occurring due to increases in class size of existing schools. This produces a cohort of over 21,000 allopathic medical students who require clinical education yearly. In 2016 over half of the MD schools surveyed mentioned the clinical training of students from other health care professional schools as a source of [u]decreased availability of clerkship training spots for medical students[/u], as compared to approximately 25% of schools reporting this in 2009.

...Combined osteopathic and allopathic first-year medical student enrollment has [u]increased by 50% since 2002–2003[/u], with almost 28,000 students per year entering medical school.

[b]Although the number of osteopathic and allopathic medical students requiring clerkship spots has increased, there has not been a commensurate increase in the number of clerkship spots nor has there been an increase in clinical preceptors.[/b] There are several additional factors which compound this challenge. Many community-based hospitals have closed, or been acquired by larger organizations, decreasing the available hospital based rotations for students. Preceptors who have historically provided clinical education are retiring, and many preceptors are joining practices that limit medical students, or don’t permit students at all.[/quote][/quote]
