I can't imagine how you could learn Bayesian stats w/o starting with a basic inference class, which will cover p-values at length.

I did Bayesian stats without ever discussing p-values. Not al classes discuss them. (my background is ML, where p-values are not as useful as say in biology or any field relying on experiments with control groups)
