This reminds me that I still need to find a new primary care doc


Can't decide if I go internal med or family practice route

Plus, if you don't match or scramble, you are waiting an entire year, even after passing the boards, to re-apply. This percentage is only increasing, and these are people that have gone through four years of medical school.

I just read the match report. Only 50% of internal and family medicine spots were filled by u.s. grads.
You want to fix that?

Increase how much they get paid by Medicare/Medicaid.

You'll get applicants then.

Yeah I don't think they understand how residencies work.


Which is why I started this thread. Explain how they work. All I know is you have to have a residency to be a practicing doc.

That's my point. Educating law students is nothing like educating med students. Dead bodies aren't free brah.

We don't know how residencies work and we are in fact ignoring you. Let us do our thing.

Agreed, but the market has adjusted to that. You see this now with many people no longer choosing to attend law school. Why not make med schools more market based?

Absolutely. Medical schools are mostly run by doctors who still practice. Nobody wants to be overrun with new doctors to the point they lose business or jobs

How is what they did problematic? It's all supply and demand. If you're not meant to be a lawyer, you shouldn't go to law school.
