Well I work at med school, grad students get far more training on research, med students can take an optional research elective. This elective isn't a formal course either, what happens is a med student comes to our lab and we put them on a small project as an assistant doing data analysis or a simple experiment. They don't get formally taught how to evaluate research You have to remember med students are training to be clinicians not researchers. They have to diagnose and treat patients based on information taught to them by clinicians and basic scientists This is also why it annoys me when lay people refer to the opinions of physicians on some new research that just came out, like with covid stuff. They are not research experts, they're clinicians. They treat people and make diagnoses
