It could be more of explaining the total duration and cost of how long they went to college.

If it's required to have an undergrad I believe one can mention it, even if the undergraduate isn't required.

Like in Belgium you need to have a masters for certain government jobs, but it's not relevant in which field.

+1. In Mexico there's a "Medicine" major, which is longer than other majors, but not as long as doing a 4 year undergrad degree followed by a 4 years of med-school. I've always found interesting and a little pointless that even if you know you want to be a doctor you have to go through the extra steps of two degrees/schools.
Then why not include high school?

Unless the degree was exclusive to medicine, including it is bullshit.

MDs have a glorified 4 year masters and an on the job training program not significantly different than what it takes to become a PE.

But you can become a PE without a masters. Would you say that PEs the only requirement for PE is 2 year Mentorship?

Maybe people should be able to go straight into medschool with an associates or hs diploma

Yes
what's PE?
