I’m still not sure why most US medical schools want an undergraduate degree. I see lots of people trying to go pre-med doing research in the lab when we should really just cut out the middleman and have medachool admit straight out of high school or the military [in the USA not sure how other countries work]. This would really reduce the amount of time wasted of people that don’t want to go into research. Right now you can go to school for 4+2(MS degree) and make just as much [total comp] as a GP at FAANG+MSFT and get much, much better working hours. Ideally we would increase the amount of Medicare residencies too. Then everyone could get a residencie and we would also be able to import MD from around the world.
