> For anyone who wants to complain about what doctors should or should not learn during medical school: first go learn what the curriculum does teach, then ask yourself if you're even mildly qualified to make those judgements based on your understanding of healthcare, and then maybe you could comment on what would have to be left out of education to accommodate for X, because the curriculum is already super bloated and a firehose of information. I think this knee jerk reaction is unwarranted. The writer is a doctor herself, so she's well-versed with the breadth and depth of medical school curriculum, and everything that comes after that. But I don't agree that your breakdown about medical school curriculum is accurate or correct, definitely not across different schools. For example, the Harvard Medical School curriculum offers classes for Sports or Rural medicine practice (subjects for highly specialized medical focus), so I don't understand why something for autistic or disabled patient care cannot be included in either those subjects, or separately. My guess is that it probably is to some degree, but not to the degree that this article writer would prefer.
