I take this as:

1,2: memorize 3,4, residency: poorly compensated labor

Medical school is 4 years, pre-medical school is 4 years, internship is 1 year, residency is 2-7 years.
Is that contradictory to what I wrote? Also note that EU combines premed and med school into <8 year bachelor degree.
First two years of medical school are in classroom, second two years are clinical rotations.

Residency is after medical school, and that's the first time you start earning a meager paycheck. In medical school, even when you're "working" with patients, you still pay tuition.

Yeah exactly. And at the very least an EU 6 year med bachelor model would pay you something for years 7 and 8 (counting feom high school).
