<p>“said it before, and I’ll say it again. European students can start medical programs straight out of high school. Students in Japan do the same. I am not aware of any evidence whatsoever that European or Japanese doctors know less or provide worse care than do US doctors - if anything, their health care systems actually seem to perform better than does the US system (although, granted, that also has to do with institutional factors such as universal health care and lower rates of violent crime). Nevertheless, foreign doctors are living proof that you can provide perfectly good medical care without having received the ‘benefits’ of a standalone undergrad education.”</p>
