Why is medical school in the USA an 8 year vs 5 year program like in other countries? Yes, they still have residencies to go through, but a doctor in China is still through with their education and training much faster than in the USA.
Our system is overly expensive in terms of training requirements for doctors and nurses, and it doesn’t show much improvement in quality for those requirements.
