I don't understand the American Med school system. You do an unrelated degree and then go to medical school somewhere completely different? Why? Just a medical degree at one university right from the start, don't you miss out a lot of stuff doing it your way?

Re: Common things you don't understand thread.

The general degree might be cheaper at one university (like a state one).

Re: Common things you don't understand thread.

I don't get why you'd need a general degree rather than cracking on with the medical one right from the off.

Because they are not going to invest medical highly specialized medical training to someone who might not be college material.

the general degree weeds out those who can't cut it. see also: law school.

If you can't hack 8am basic science classes, you'll never survive residency. You also, as I understand it, need a certain number of science and math credits to even get into medical programs, you don't skate in on Intro to Public Speaking and Underwater Basket-weaving. If you can't handle the science let alone the math, it's good to find out before you take out 120k/yr loans you'll never pay back.

Ideally and in theory, anyway. I've heard horror stories from university profs in my city shocked at the absolutely abysmal state of students today, I don't know if we're even going to have anyone smart enough to not AI their way through Biology 101 in order to be a smart doctor in 8 years.

Because not everyone goes into college knowing right off the bat that they want to go into the medical field. It's not at all uncommon for people to take some biology courses or other related courses and discover that they are interested in medicine through that.

You can't just go straight to med school. You have to prove to them that you can do the basics by already having an undergraduate degree.

What a lot on non Americans (me included back in the day) don't understand about college degrees is that general basic college degrees in the US are comparable to a lot of the higher/finishing classes at regular schools in a lot of countries.

There are such things as accelerated med school programs where you enter that track earlier without getting a general degree first. They're highly competitive and probably not cheap, though. Even if you manage to get in, you have to be pretty damn sure you're not going to change your mind halfway through.

IMO, it's better for most people to go through a 4 year college first. You'd be surprised at how many people struggle just to get a basic degree and deal with independence at the same time. People flunk out, people change their course of study multiple times, etc. You don't want to do that in med school, which is a hell of a lot harder than just regular college.
