> Nor is it expected that the number of residency spots, even now inadequate to place the current, limited number of graduates, will expand From my very limited understanding, isn't that a much more important issue that deserves more than a single line? We need more hospitals, more residents (and with, IMO, well less than 80-hour work weeks; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_resident_work_hours https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_resident_work_hours ), etc. But then profits and salaries would go down. Cuba trains doctors for other countries, as part of their international policy. ("Cuba provides more medical personnel to the developing world than all the G8 countries combined" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_medical_internationalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_medical_internationalism) Why can't we do better than Cuba?
