That's one thing that I don't understand and maybe Chris or MM could jump in since they would definitely know more than me. I definitely agree with the shortage but what I don't understand is that from speaking with the Rad's, it seems that it's extremely hard to even be accepted in to the school. From that, it seems that either there aren't enough schools or they severely limit the amount of students they accept?

How many students are generally in a class during Med school? Is the number kept low because the amount of material covered is better taught to a smaller class? If there is such a shortage especially for American doctors, why don't the schools allow larger class sizes.

Again, I am completely ignorant when it comes to med school so you guys would probably be the best people to ask here

Radiology is actually getting easier to match into as long as you go to a decent US school.

By far, the three hardest specialties to get are Plastics, Derm and ENT. This is mostly because of lifestyle and really good money.

I agree, if one is becoming a doc to make money, then they are not going to be all that great of a doc.

I didn't know you were in med school. right on! My friend gets her PHD in 2 weeks but she's into research. Lots of schooling.

Chris wasn't agreeing with that a little while back from what i remember of our NHS debate.
