Not at all, because the question at hand was 'how long does it take to train to be an doctor in the US'. I don't understand why one would include time spent training to be something else? It is like saying 'it took me 30 years to learn to code, 3 months on Udemy and 29 years learning to solve problems as a carpenter'.

Premed is gatekeeping, and not all countries enforce that form of gatekeeping.

Because you can't train to be a doctor in the US without that gatekeeping? I thought the point GP was making was it takes in the longer because of this pointless gatekeeping.
