Medicine has thrived on limiting its intake of Doctors in the same way law has not. The legal profession went the way of opening Law Schools all over the place whereas medical schools are far and few between. Obviously medical schools are much more expensive to open, but having organizations that limit opening those schools also helps.
Medical schools are so far and few between that it is one of the rare places students seek admission in the Caribbean and Latin America to get certified with the hope of clobbering their USMLE exams and getting into a good residency program to make up for it.
The fact that someone can have 2 points lower on the MCAT and not qualify for a good medical school tells you how messed up the priorities are.
