This is not universal in the US. You can do Bac + Med School in six years even there[1]. That’s the standard route outside the US’ former colonies and those countries with colonial cringe. Medical school in the UK and Ireland varies from five to six years with undergraduate entry. Graduate entry is four years like in the US, but pre-med doesn’t exist; you can start med school with a degree in dance[2]. Even in the US you can do med school in three years[3]
