this may seem like a stupid question, and perhaps it is. but i read in a magazine that there is going to be a massive physician shortage in the US in the near future. i also know that it is incredibly hard to get into medical school and luck, not competency plays a large part. as the population is increasing and along with it the shortage of doctors needed in the future, it seems it should be getting a tad bit easier to get into medical school because the system needs so many more doctors. however, it seems that people say it is getting harder each year to get into medical school. are places getting fewer, or are more people applying? what gives?
