Unfortunately or fortunately there are not many 7 year programs. Most of them are 8 year. So your child may not save time wise by going that route. Also she won’t get credit for all the AP level courses she ends up doing in HS she will be required to do higher level courses instead, but no credit for APs. On the contrary for a traditional route, she may finish her course work faster with those credits or perhaps even go for an accelerated masters in those 4 years of undergrad (which will be very impressive when applying for med school later).
But on the other side, a direct med program comes with a guarantee (of course with some GPA and MCAT requirements, which > 95% of students shouldn’t have any trouble fulfilling except for in perhaps places like WashU’s program).
So you need to weigh both the sides and choose what may be in her best interest.
Also as a parent I would encourage you to do your research for her on different programs and weigh in different aspects mentioned by @GoldenRock to decide where to apply and attend if selected. I would also urge you to check the intake of each of these programs, because some of them are practically impossible to get in with so few slots available and to top it with preferences for instate and regional students. I think location and the option to explore different areas of study are most important personally, if finances are not an issue. D attends a program with curriculum focused on liberal arts and she is having great time exploring psychology, philosophy, classics, foreign language, computer science and anthropology (in which she may minor) besides core subjects in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. She loves the location of the school too and so do we.
