[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the article: "Medical schools have done their part by increasing enrollment by nearly 40% since 2002. We must now expand graduate medical education so we are training more doctors to meet the nation’s health care needs."

So are there a bunch of people who got their MDs but can't get residencies? What are they doing?[/quote]
It's still like a 5% acceptance rate.[/quote]
Medical schools aren’t doing squat about the shortage except maybe increasing their class size by a few or establishing tiny “satellite” campuses to pretend they care about rural medicine. No, they are reveling in the exclusivity too while raking in thousands in secondary application fees and making applicants jump through more and more hoops. They are too lazy and set in their ways to take on more students. They just want to keep phoning it in with pre-recorded lectures and group case presentations where the students teach themselves. And they fall back on the congressional residency cap to justify their actions. They also fight any attempt to build new med schools in the states where they are located so that they have less competition. [/quote]
