No Part Time Medical courses

In recent days everybody learns everything through the Internet, including medicine. But knowing medicine without patients and adequate training is very difficult. Part time medical courses and training at all levels can only produce money making medical men with inadequate medical knowledge. So Part Time medical courses or training should not be encouraged at any level in any country.
