Forgive me for being less than informed about this because I'm an upcoming MS1.
I've been looking at match lists for the last few years and have noticed an interesting trend.
It seems like the "top tier" schools are matching increasingly disproportionate numbers of students to specialties which from the ladder theory would mean that students at "lower tier" (esp. offshore) schools are being pushed progressively towards primary care residencies (IM + FP)
Is this just a wholesale move away from primary care (which i assume is part of it), or is it that as most students move towards specialties, inevitably the top schools will get the lions share of those slots.
