You're correct that they do not choose who can be a doctor.

You're incorrect in that they are the primary force and loudest voice restricting the number of residency slots in the US. You cannot practice medicine without matching into a residency program, whether you have an MD/DO or not.

They are not, and haven't been for at least something like 20 years, which is when they publicly came out in favor of increasing the number of residency slots.
