[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a shortage because it's hard. [/quote]

the bottleneck is residency spots.  there are more graduates than there are residency spots.  ever hear of someone going unmatched?[/quote]

What do these unmatched students do? This is after years of schooling, correct?[/quote]

Some try to rematch the next year. Some go pursue another degree (PhD) while they wait it out and with a backup plan of doing research. I have followed a few here and there on Instagram who are very transparent about their stories but I suspect that there’s a lot of shame attached to not matching so we never hear about those stories and people quietly disappear into research jobs, maybe teaching, other degrees, etc. [/quote]

They tend to go into govt positions and MAHA loves them. Uncertified and unqualified- perfect! 
Actually I knew someone who never did his residency, so he had a private practice and was never board certified. His patients probably never knew. [/quote]
