The "first" 4 years are not medical school. They are undergraduate study. Typically, after finishing 4 years of college a student may apply to a medical school. Then they go to medical school for 4 years, then have a year of internship, one or two years residency, and then take a fellowship if they so desire for about 2-3 years depending on the specialty. If you're saying we should let people apply to med school after only 2 years of university, then we would see a whole bunch of folks that don't have the building blocks needed to pass the first year of medical school. Take a look at a typical pre med curriculum. I think the problem here is that you don't have a very good idea of what a pre med and medical education entail.
