Thank you for making my case more succinctly. I'm intimately familiar with the specifics of medical education as a family member of mine is a high-up muckety-muck at one of the world's better academic hospitals (won't be more precise than that). There's a perception amongst outsiders that medicine is unbelievably difficult that only a handful of people qualify for medical training on their merits; a more accurate assessment is that the # of slots is fixed and the admissions are as selective as they need to be to filter down the applicant pool to the # of available slots. It'd take time to ramp up to being able to handle that many students -- medicine is mainly taught by working under the supervision of existing experts, and there's a finite supply of expert-hours at the moment -- but the present rate of doctor-production is far from what it could be without a material drop in applicant quality.
