I can understand if you wanted them to be able to clep out of parts of Essentials of Patient Care 101 but even that is a stretch due to it being a totally different mind set of being the one in charge Vs. the one who is following orders.....
1.5 years of preclinicals and 3rd year. (4th year of med school is mainly for people considering specialties + interviews and vacation.)

Would have to include built in residency placement, eg some primary care place that would otherwise go unfilled.

Let's be honest, there's a lot of filler in medical school that could be cut or compressed without sacrificing quality.
