> Now, an AAMC-accredited education, on the other hand, provides a lot more parity out of the gate when it comes to opportunity. The medical guild used The Flexner Report (1910) [1] to eliminate opportunities for people to train as doctors: The Report (also called Carnegie Foundation Bulletin Number Four) called on American medical schools to enact higher admission and graduation standards, and to adhere strictly to the protocols of mainstream science in their teaching and research. Many American medical schools fell short of the standard advocated in the Flexner Report and, subsequent to its publication, nearly half of such schools merged or were closed outright. Colleges in electrotherapy were closed. The Report also concluded that there were too many medical schools in the USA, and that too many doctors were being trained. A repercussion of the Flexner Report, resulting from the closure or consolidation of university training, was reversion of American universities to male-only admittance programs to accommodate a smaller admission pool.

Foreign-educated doctors are imported to fill the gap.
