well it is cheaper here, of course.
you can complete a medical degree in 6 years where the 6th year is supposed to be a paid 1 year internship. where the payment mitigates the fees you pay the university, i suppose. i don't know if you get paid more than the fees you owe in that 6th year...
whereas in the USA you have a 4 year college degree followed by... 4 years of Medical school for a total of 8 years.
Then the fact that it is more expensive to pay US colleges than NZ colleges (even once you factor in bribes and sexual favors and the like).
Then there is also the fact of how they progress you in your studies. You are given teh answers to the tests etc if you are willing to pay Crimson Education and similar private tutoring services.
Paying to study for USMLE step 1.. Requires a lot more in the way of actual work, I would imagine. Than what is requried of the murdering rapists in NZ. You can tell when you speak to the sons of the wealthy elite. You can see that dilligence in their studies is not really something tehy selected for...
