Yes if there’s 53/1000, that’s wayyy too high. That probably means that that job market for doctors is extremely saturated.

Even at 53/1000 can still basically guarantee there'd be a shortage of GPs/family medicine drs. Too much work and not enough par compared to other specialities for most people, which is sad because it is the speciality that really is the most important and so many people could avoid seeing any other doctor if they received early, high quality primary care. For example my mother ended up in hospital for 4 days with a bladder infection because she couldn't get into the GP for 3 days before that so the infection had time to take hold.
