No, the correct thing to do is to break the accreditation agencies and professional associations' grip over medical school admissions and massively increase the supply of surgeons.
This stands in stark contrast with the USA where the AMA calls the shots. In effect, the doctors control the supply of doctors.
Simply increasing the number of medical school places would result in many people spending years of their life (and in the US, 100s of thousands of dollars in debt) without then being able to then start their career.
Some degree of central planning seems reasonable here.
