This isn't true for primary care. There are tons of open spots every year that are filled by International graduates or aren't filled at all. The problem is nobody wants to do this job.
Thanks! Yeah, looks like there are some openings. Also looks like that is one specialty that has increased its slots by over 25% in the past 5 years. Progress
Do you have a source for that?
The stuff I saw says that a certain number of slots are reserved for international students, which further constrains the supply.
