Should pre-medical training just be a statistics degree?

Should pre-medical training just be a statistics degree?

All premeds take o-chem, some premeds take p-chem, but should any take...no-chem???


As medicine has become more evidence-based and biologically sophisticated, the job description of a doctor has changed dramatically over the past half-century. Good clinical practice involves a lot more of inspecting p-values and effect sizes than it ever did before, and there's an argument to be made that the time has come for hard sciences to be kicked out of the pre-med equation and more rigorous statistical training to be added in. While discussing this, we confront the larger question of whether understanding first principles will even be relevant as the world continues to progress.
