Id like to invite opinions on this. I am not trying to bash the medical school system, although some changes may be needed. I'm just curious, what I constantly hear from physicians is there are many more skills required beyond your curriculum in medical school which largely focuses on healthy anatomy/physiology -disease-treatment .
But skills I hear are motor skills, humility (Especially as a Ms3-PGY '''') , compassion, practice management/ insurance billing, ethical decisions, and even more.
The pool of students who get into medical schools are brilliant however Ive met dinguses at my program and others, and people who should never pick up a scalpel or even a butter knife, meanwhile a few stragglers out there who could possibly just make it through the program if they had a little more time (3 years for basic sciences) and outside of that, they are amazing people.
Friendly discourse only please.
