I went to college with a lot of people from South American and was really taken aback with how… easy it seemed to become a doctor.

​

Like don’t get me wrong I was at a fairly high level university and all it’s not like these students were dumb - but the impression I got was that you can largely just decide to become a doctor out of high school and then more or less qualify to enter med school immediately.

Not to say doctors from these regions are worse, but it’s odd to meet like a 25 year old who casually finished med school last year
