The selection criteria for medical school admission has little to do with skill and more to do with how likable you are in your personal statement and interview.

After someone passes that selection criteria (which again, seems to have little to do with being a competent physician), it doesn't seem like enough of them are being filtered out for being bad at actual medicine.

I went to a good school in mathematics and we only had a 70% graduation rate. The people who dropped out or switched majors had passed the rigorous selection criteria just like the rest of us. I'm suspicious the equivalent cohort in medical school just get pushed through and graduate all the same and become bad doctors.

> And with med schools it's not like you can increase the number of students easily as each student requires a lot of resources due to requiring residency and things like that.

Most who can't hack it fail in first year. I don't think watching lectures and writing exams in first and second years is all that resource-intensive. And even if it were, they'd be paying tuition to cover it all the same.
