[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are there so many requirements for getting into medical school now?  So many hours of extra stuff??  Why spend 4 yrs on undergrad classes but still need a gap year to do all the requirements and apply?

On the other end, there is a growing shortage of every doctor specialty, even in urban areas.

Smart kids who are qualified and interested are turned off by all the stupid requirements and the immense time it takes to do them. [/b]

The system should make it easier for these kids to pursue medicine, not harder. It’s already a long grueling expensive road as it is. Why is the system making it even that much more difficult and more expensive??  As a society, this makes no sense at all.

These "smart" kids can always bypass the US requirements and get their degrees at a caribbean med school.

We also have a lot of Indian educated doctors practicing in the country now.  I assume they may also go to India to pursue a medical degree.[/quote]
