While I don't know anything about medicine, I have some experience in curriculum design. My rule of thumb is that you can learn two things in a year. That doesn't mean people can't learn more. It means that you should describe the learning objectives you expect the students to meet at that level of granularity.
Anything that gets substantially less than half a year of full-time study is uncertain. Students may encounter it but fail to learn it, or they may learn it and later forget it.
12 years is enough time to learn 24 things. While there are more things you would like every doctor to know, you can't reasonably expect them to know all of that after just 12 years of training.
