School enrollment, etc.

[James Schenken <jds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can't speak for other types of schools, but medical schools are limited
by the number and kinds of internships and residencies available for
their students.
If you can't get an internship, you can't be a medical doctor.

Internships, etc. are limited by the number of teaching hospital beds and
by the willingness of patients at those institutions to be treated by
inexperienced physicians.

Just the facts of life. 

Cheers,
James

BTW I think we've wandered a little off topic here.

The Medical School do this and now there are not enough Family /Internist Doctors in the US.
