this didn't take into account the pace at which new DO med schools are opening or expanding (Nova is now basically running med school on two shifts) and all the new MD schools that have either already opened (FSU,UM-FAU satellite) or the ones that will open in the next 2-4 years (VT,Beumont) right there is another 1200-1500 grads. there is also expansions of current med schools almost accross the country...the medical school attached to my program is expanding its class by 60% in the next 3 years and much more in another 2 years by forming a partnership with another university and saving time by using a navy school that closed for building/library infrastructure. and that is just the begining.....the future of maintaing almost 30 caribbean medical schools is unlikely...the big ones may remain and regress in size to their 1980-1990 levels but there just likely will not be a need for the other 25.
