gollark: In a sane system it would make more sense to just make the courses a year longer to cover background material instead of forcing people through 4 years of extremely expensive education.
gollark: Having to do 4 years of schooling before medicine-specific stuff seems dubiously useful.
gollark: Medical degrees here are like regular undergraduate ones but I think somewhat more government-specified and a bit longer.
gollark: Memorizing vast amounts of random information is probably less important now you can look it up quickly too.
