> [Cuban medical schools] graduate loads more doctors than the US

I'm guessing you mean per capita...?

> A doctor must have a Batchelor's because it was decided that nurses should have one

I'm not sure where you got that from. Nursing going to the BS model is extremely new compared to physicians doing so.

> open a few more medical schools to allow more doctors to be trained

The hold-up here is on training positions. New schools are opening every year, but that's just exacerbating the problem on graduation - we're getting to having (we might already be there, I'd have to check the numbers again) more graduates than we have training positions.
