That path starts from high school with shadowing doctors, research, HOSA etc. It sure kills essence of an education and high school/college experience for most due to a narrow focus. A high GPA and MCAT becomes main reason to breath. It’s kind of sad, specially for ones who do it for wrong reasons.
At least American Medical schools require an undergrad degree, in most countries you skip that and go to medical school without broad learning and maturity. I’m not a fan of accelerated BS-MD programs either.
