[edit] New article and request for more help

Currently information regarding medical education and training is scattered amongst a number of articles. This information is at best duplicated, but a better description would be "fractured". Furthermore, medical ed/training varies considerably across the world, however the info in the various articles is often U.S.-specific. In an attempt to consolidate information regarding medical education and training, I have begun combining information regarding med ed/training into country-specific overview articles.

At present this article contains information from the Physician article. I didn't include info from the Medical school (United Kingdom) article as that article is very comprehensive; rather I linked to it as a "main article".

More information on vocational training would be great: there seems to be a lot of exciting things happening in UK med ed/training (MMC, etc). The article could be expanded to also include information on history, recent developments, etc.
