Aren’t most non-primary care residencies currently restricted to graduates of American medical schools, thus guaranteeing a pool of FMGs for the less renumative specialties?

No. Also there are many more foreign medical graduates in specialty training than I remember. I’m coming the conclusion that not as many of our best American graduates are going into medicine anymore. The medical school admissions data would not support my position but we certainly hire people here that we wouldn’t have hired 20 years ago. Most of them are in the primary care areas.
