That is how it is already going with physician assistants and nurse practitioners, as I understand. Instead of 1 doctor seeing 20 patients in a day, 1 doctor “oversees” a bunch of PA/NP each seeing 20 patients in a day.

We do still have massive doctor shortages though (at least here in Canada) so I wouldn't worry about doctors not having jobs any time soon

It's gotten pretty ugly with provinces trying to poach doctors from other provinces, competing with each other to offer incentives to entice doctors from other provinces
