Anyone heard of any NP to MD programs?

A girl I go to school with said that there is a school in Missouri that has a bridge program for NPs to become MDs.

Have any of you heard of a program like this??

Thanks!

(Originally Posted by veritas that's in USA. what i said is actually happening in Oz. wow, USA has a med school admission rate of 44% to 50%? amazing. must be real easy to get into med schools in USA. in Oz, it's 20%. and in many places in the world, the program is still 8 years. in uk, it is usually 5 or 6 years.)

Some of those countries don't require an undergraduate education before applying to med school. You apply to med school after the equivalent of high school, then spend approx 8 years in school. It's not 4 years of undergrad + 8 years of med school.
