In my country most definitely don't. They take a little calculus in high school, but practically zero at university, unless they take an epidemiology elective or something like that. I know this well because my wife is also a doctor.
It probably varies a lot by country, like many things.
- imperfect_blue 4y agoYou certainly don't need calculus to understand exponential growth; you'd get a good sense of it from just looking at a chart. The ability to apply learned theory to real life in cross-domain ways is not common and not so easily taught by rote. Teaching calculus to everyone won't solve this.
