I don't think you can but don't have stats to support me but they turn down a crap load of good applicants each year.
Anyway, Canada does NOT require a BA to get into medical school, from what you posted we are like Europe. Most people just need a BA because of the demand.
Decreasing schooling times doesn't increase doctors, and as far as I understand, there is not way to decrease schooling time beyond what we have, aside from increasing spots by what I assume is a massive amount.
I am for increasing spots- my point is our education duration has NO bearing on the quantity of doctors.

Ignoring whether it’s technically feasible and assuming they don’t retire earlier if you decrease schooling by two years you would increase career length by two years which would increase the number of doctors. If careers went from 40 to 42 years that would be a 5% increase in supply. (I think they just retire earlier)
