> no residency program slots for them

which is an artificial limitation. More positions can be generated easily, since there's a high demand for medical care and the costs currently are high to obtain medical care.

Until those residency programs have doctors sitting idle and twiddle their thumbs, the lack of position is just artificial in order to make it more competitive.

You appear to have a misunderstanding of the motivations and incentives here. The limit on residency program slots is not to make them more competitive but rather to hold down Federal government Medicare spending. If you want to help solve the problem then please ask your members of Congress to increase Medicare funding for residency programs.
