I asked DH today if he had known any MD that had graduated really young, Dougie Howzer kind of thing. He said in his whole practice of 80 hospitals in Boston and the surrounding area, he never encountered one. He said there was a thorasic surgeon who finished resdency (6 year residency he said) around 27.

He said that just the patient interaction, medical schools wouldn't likely admit anyone really young just because the scores are good.

Those kinds of things are also a consideration. What law firm is going to hire an 18 year old? Any one know of one?
