More residents become more licensed doctors.
More licensed doctors means more supply. 
More supply for the same demand means lower unit cost

The costs of doctors isn’t the problem with medical costs. It’s the testing, exams, equipment, and medicines that cost so much. We don’t have a doctor shortage problem. The problem is doctors feel obligated to subject everyone to a barrage of testing so that they’re not sued. 

Lowering the standard for qualified doctors doesn’t mean there’s more supply.  There is no way to increase the supply of doctors without lowering the quality of doctor. People would still seek out the better doctor when the bad one can’t fix it.

Your thoughts on this topic are misguided, 1,000 spots in medical school or a residency program doesn't mean that there are only 1,000 qualified candidates. It means that qualified candidates cannot gain a spot in the program.

Here's a nice white paper on the topic if you're interested.
