You could hypothetically have on-the-job training for a surgeon, but it takes a lot longer and gets very expensive. That's probably why they divide it up into pre-med, med school, internships, fellowships, etc. That and it means that companies don't have to absorb all of the cost of training new surgeons. Maybe it's not the ultimate solution to the problem since some doctors have difficulty paying off their loans. Unless you are in a highly paid specialty, you could be repaying your loans for many years.

Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!
