GP is a little jaded IMHO (but perhaps with some reason, if family members have dealt with melanoma—my experience has been different) but essentially spot on WRT to the supply and demand. The medical profession is protectionist to the extreme. Basic economic forces should see the supply of medical schools (and doctors that graduate from them) increasing, but the AMA keeps a tight lid on that, and specialization boards further distort the market.

Probably meant to say that the licensing is a scam.
