Re: Quantity/quality of US MD’s

What if it was as accessable as an professional engineering qualification, which is limited by the ability to qualify rather than the number allowed to receive the designation per year (as a result of US medical-school class size)?

It seems inevitable to me that increasing the number of slots in US medical schools would lower the average quality of the graduates to some degree. How could it be otherwise?

Instead, why not increase the pool of practicing US MD’s by facilitating the licensing of qualified foreign MD’s, as suggested by microcapfun?
