This is almost exactly what happened in the US a hundred-plus years ago. The fallout vastly improved medical education overall, but also ossified the field into a modern fortress of protectionism that hurts the public by ignoring the supply part of supply and demand, but also hurts the clever (and typically already privileged in most ways) young people who manage to get med school, by saddling them with huge amounts of debt and grinding them into powder for the first decade of their career. I also subscribe to the theory that the hypercompetitive selection process results in too many doctors who are not well-rounded or particularly good at processing information outside their fields, but are told over and over again that they’re too smart to have any blind spots. If you have the right credential and especially if you’ve made enough money with it, society does the Dunning-Krugering for you.
https://youtu.be/5Peima-Uw7w does a fascinating - and extremely excellent imho - job of explaining this further. “Intelligence” is domain-specific, and does not translate to what we might rather call by a different term (wisdom?). It also dips into Emotional Agility as a source of why smart people will do these incredibly dumb things. Regardless of what others say, as in however they misuse certain terms, this video tries to convey that biases exist as traps to fall into along the way - which at its core is undeniably true on its face - and reminds us that we ignore such at our own peril.
Edit: its TLDR is: always stay curious folks! There is no better bulkwark against biases, while in contrast those who stick their head into the sand will never ever find the truth even if it walks up and introduces itself to them (which ironically, it very often does? yet misinformation is often an excellent “cure” against finding the truth of things).
Federal public universities are the ones that score the best.
