No, they are absolutely not. About 5% of medical school graduates do not placed into a residency program. There's a slew of Caribean medical schools that take only US based students. They have about a 20% non-placement rate.
Med schools have a lot more flexibility in slots. Once established, it's far easier to increase class size by 10% than it to get 10% more residency slots.
