>>13433595I would say that in medschool people are above average intelligence, but not everyone is a genius.
Not everyone gets into medchool it is a lot easier where I live to get into physics bsc than to get into medschool.
So only the smarter people get in.
At the exams the profs are very strict about everything, you have to know it well to even pass, so at medschool they push you a lot harder than elsewhere.
Medicine is an applied science which makes it harder. You have to know a lot of biology and chemistry, you have to also know physics to understand how the body works.
As for saying that it is just memorisation? By this logic you can memorise physics and pass exams.
I don't even know where this physicists are the smartest thing even comes from. Big Bang Theory or what lol?
The average science degree holder is worse at their degree than the averege md holder.
