Oh not for me- I'm doing CS, but it seems like we could get very large returns in hospital performance for the effort expended in teaching med students the proper stats training.

I'm not sure what to expect here, except that at best they'll flat out say that the program is difficult enough as it is, and at worst shrug with some kind of vague "corporate-representative-being-questioned" answer. In my wildest dreams they could come up with some new-fangled "Life Stats" course, streamlined so only the parts related to diagnostics and prognostics are taught.
