They're not magical. If I want to be a doctor, there are two primary sets of exams I need to take: 1-the MCAT, and 2-the USMLE.
Both sets are managed by non profits.
There should be no reason why a poor minority, boy or girl, struggling to make ends meet in a rough neighborhood cannot get online, self study, and one day go and take a seat for these exams. In fact, this should be subsidized by government more than university classes--it is far more efficient and more fair, just better overall.
So these are the primary tests, both in a literal and figurative sense, which establish ability and competency to practice medicine.
After this point, getting the residency requirements and practical lab skills is just a formality.
If what it comes down to is basically some exams, we should be able to give more people access to that. Especially in STEM fields.
