It's mostly private institutions passing people because they just care about the money and nothing else.
Source? The literal subtitle of the article says it's private and public institutions.

Those institutions need to lose their accreditation then.
They are restricting new enrollment for now while they make other plans. Removing accreditation would punish the students more than the system. Also, they aren't all private.
That exam wasnt created for that and there is a very difficult exam to get a residency which is required for more 'complex' doctor jobs, so people didnt see the need for that until now. They are working on changes though that could involve shutting down courses that fail to meet the necessary standards
