    Medical school is only 4 years unless you get a phd on top. The residencies are 3+ years. And they’re extremely expensive which only adds to the nepotism

            Sorry, but I won’t be saying where I’m at for residency because it would then be very easy to dox me. There are very few residents at any given program

        No, US med school is 4 years graduate education, vs the Commonwealth model which is 6 years undergraduate.
