I have enough inside knowledge with this group to know that your assumptions are way off base. They work with the certified training programs to increase, not decrease, the number of qualified applicants and the government has nothing to do with anything the Board does. The government's input stops with a license to practice medicine ... period.

There are just some things you can't hide from the person writing your software. And this group is nothing if not ethical and impressive. And I'm not easily impressed.
