I don't think training is the main obstacle in becoming a doctor. When a doctor completes his/her residency, they want to start their own practice. The cost of setting up a practice and the equipment they would need, is very costly, not to mention the "malpractice insurance" cost they would have to buy.
If they weren't sued for every little thing, they would be able to start off relatively easier, and not have to charge large fees, to try and recoup all they money they spent in medical school and on education.
I personally wouldn't want to go to a doctor that took shortcuts in his/her education. A doctor should be well versed, in all facets of life. IMHO
That is what one doctor told me when his son said he wanted to follow in his footsteps. He told his son to forget about it.
