The proliferation of new schools is also a market response to a rare convergence of forces: a growing population; the aging of the health-conscious baby-boom generation; the impending retirement of, by some counts, as many as a third of current doctors,,,

Never doubt the invisible hand. The free market system always works.

Too bad these kids will get into medical school and graduate into healthcare.

A few years ago I was looking into affirmative action admissions in med schools and unfortunately found that it was alive and well there too. I’d bet Peter Allen didn’t get into other med schools because he was a white male even though in aggregate males score better than females on MCAT. The fact that he got into Pitt suggests his MCAT score was pretty good.

Huge numbers of qualified American kids were not getting into American medical schools or going abroad to study,”

Denied for affirmative action slots.

Things look brighter for physicians with the likely demise of Obama care. Had Obamacare passed physicians would have had government bureaucrats telling them how to practice medicine, who to treat and how much treatment would be allowed. Medical specialties in neonatal care and geriatrics would have disappeared and been replaced by death panels.

No doubt these new Medical Schools will teach “Cross Cultural Medicine” “Holistic Health” and “Transgender Anatomy” rather than the traditional Gross anatomy, Human Physiology, and Physical Diagnosis.

Many of the current schools do a crappy job of teaching Physical diagnosis as it is, judging by what I see in young physicians. Why should they listen to a patient’s heart or perform a neurologic exam? Just order an Echocardiogram or a CT scan of the head.
