      All of which can affect the type of care you might receive, regardless of a scientific diagnosis.

        True.

        I mean, ideally you have the A+ people that studied well, understand everything and retain that knowledge after graduation. Plus a ton of experience in the field, social abilities to handle all kinds of patients and pedagogical knowledge to transfer the necessary knowledge to the patients.

      I am not a medical student, so this may be a stupid question, but if the study material is something like the name of each muscle in the body, what is there to understand and not just memorize?

    Typically, you’d need to maintain at least an A- average GPA to be accepted into the next year of study.
