“Eventually there will be a shortage of high caliber doctor students in medical school.”

This has already happened thanks to affirmative action.

However, the great equalizer is the Medical Board (Specialty boards etc). You’re a number in the testing system...Not a color or gender. If you pass you are competent and qualified as it should be.

We are already there. When I have a position to hire, about 80% of the docs available for interview are foreign medical grads. And that is after my recruiter has weeded down the list American medical graduates are for the most part going into a few lucrative subspecialties ( when you graduate deeply in debt you cannot choose a practice that will barely hang on because of Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement rates and.govt regulation). 25 years ago when I graduated the brightest of the bright vied for places in internal medicine residencies. Now we are lucky if we can find american educated internists to hire - and that is for hospital physicians. The number and caliber of those going into primary care is far worse. The medical system is in big trouble -— Obama care may be the final nail in the coffin. Get ready to get your care from docs who do not speak English well— or from their nurses and PAs as the doc wil
L be stretched to thin to actually see you...... / rant off.
