In Sweden, there's no undergrad degree required for med school, but med school is 5.5 years (followed by 18 months of the Swedish equivalent of residency). Like in the US, most physicians are specialists which requires around 5 more years of training. Their student debt will generally be around 350k SEK once they finish med school which is around 40k USD, but they're paid peanuts compared to physicians in the US (~50k-80k USD per year). That is, unless they work as independent contractor physicians in which case they will make (almost) equivalent amounts before taxes.
