How would turning every doctor into a defacto bureaucrat make them want to go through the decade plus it takes to become an MD??we do need more doctors and nurses and hospitals to be more competitive, and to handle the boomer implosion!
maybe the ama needs to lower their standards or reduce the cost of schooling for docs so more with smarts could enter in to the field?
You've heard that Canada has been hemorrhaging doctors and nurses to America, haven't you??
