that's absolutely incorrect, many articles have been written about the phenomenon. unfortunately many of the best and brightest follow the money. that's not in medicine anymore. finance, law, MBAs. everyone wants to be an entrepreneur. then those who still might consider medicine read about getting squeezed between insurance companies, hedge funds buying out hospitals and medical practices, the grief with electronic medical records.
my nephew just graduated from Michigan. he and his friends did really well, all smart kids. none of them are headed to medical school. in the suburb where he's from, where I grew up, half the smart kids became doctors. also don't be fooled by admission rates and other stats like number of med school positions not keeping up with the population growth. basically, nobody wants the aggravation and who can blame them? physicians are employees now, evaluated by evermore bureaucrats for efficiency and being team players. read about the ones that got fired for daring to speak up when hospitals weren't prepared to deal with COVID?
