I suspect that is what is meant by "artificial", in "artificial cap". The idea is that we train fewer people than we could without a drop in quality (and further, make it difficult for already trained people from elsewhere to practice.
This is almost certainly true, and the incentives for physicians, medical schools, and banks are difficult to re-align.

- repsilat 8y agoShouldn't anyone who passes through the training be considered qualified? If training is expensive then you no doubt want to prevent people from starting if you don't think they're likely to finish, but the metric there should obviously be a bar on absolute student quality, not rank. It should also be measured -- confidence intervals, correlation between input metrics and output performance etc. I bet the marginal student in terms of acceptance is more than likely great doctor material, and I bet it doesn't drop off sharply right past them.
