  This is overall not per speciality and doesn’t include overall people who did not apply, the article even says itself it’s a all time match high. Look no further: https://www.nrmp.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Match-Rates-by-State-Specialty-and-Applicant-Type-2023.pdf https://www.nrmp.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Match-Rates-...

    The person i was responding to said that residency spots are the bottle neck, and not medical school spots. While residency spots have not kept pace with population growth also, the medical student spots are a much worse bottle neck. Specialties have their own periodic undersupply and oversupply, but that was not the topic of discussion in the post i was responding to. Now, I don't know how you would ever include people who don't apply. I mean there are 5 million americans of age every year, so i guess that's a denominator. what's a all time match high ? The number of spots and students ? Yeah, so ? The concern was that the number isn't high enough, and where the bottleneck is. The real answer to why doctors in america earn so much, is that everyone in america earns so much. If you compare doctor to median salaries in the us, vs. doctor to median salaries in europe, maybe its not so different ?

      > the medical student spots are a much worse bottle neck. No, they are absolutely not. About 5% of medical school graduates do not placed into a residency program. There's a slew of Caribean medical schools that take only US based students. They have about a 20% non-placement rate. Med schools have a lot more flexibility in slots. Once established, it's far easier to increase class size by 10% than it to get 10% more residency slots.
