Truthfully, I don't know. I was under the impression that the limitation is a bit different in other countries. There is no hard, fixed limit. However, there is still practical limitations around how many institutions want to go through the accreditation process and support the education system. "Anyone" (hand waves a little bit) can start a program, as long as they meet the requirements. In the US, it's a hard limit set by Congress. Even if you want to run a residency program, you can't. Technically, there are ways around the hard limit, but they're extremely challenging to implement.
