You realize that 4 years of residency isn't the magical number of the perfect amount? Two could very well be sufficient, and the other two "extra or unnecessary training." Also, you keep ignoring the college requirement, which makes you seem very disingenuous, and if you are a doctor, makes me worry for your patients.
- pc86 4y agoI'm not a doctor, but why would you want a doctor who didn't go to college? I was pre-med in college and quickly changed after I realized I didn't actually like biochem all that much. Imagine what that would have looked like had I been attending a medical school instead of a "normal" college. It sounds like what you actually want is an NP or something like that. Which is fine, there are plenty of those around.
- kolbe 4y agoWhat? Why should I care whether or not they went to college? I want them to be able to do their job, and I don't care about prestige whoring over competency. Maybe if they hadn't required classes that are irrelevant to 95% of doctors (orgo, biochem and pchem), you would have been able to pursue the career you wanted. This is yet more support for the idea my friend who "I should never ever listen to" said about requiring far too much credentialing. NPs would be fine... if they were allowed to give medical advise. Unfortunately, we still have to pay for someone with 6 years of excess schooling to come in to weigh in officially and to pay a huge premium for it.
