I find it hard to believe we couldn't streamline that 10 year process into a 5-6 year process, specifically to churn out family doctors.
For various specialists, particularly surgeons, we'd obviously want a longer training process. Neurosurgery has a 6-7 year residency program with many doing specialty training afterwards. Totally different situation than what's required of a family doctor though. We want people who are smart/rational and have had good training, but forcing them into 10 years of education, only about half of which directly applies to their actual medical practice seems absurd.

Its about Professional Associations.
Doctors want fewer Doctors. Its a way of driving up costs and ergo their wages. Thats why they increase barriers of entry and why we have to import Doctors from other countries.
