Article : Is Competition Important in Medical School?

Came across the article : 'Is Competition Important in Medical School?' . I think it's a food for thought, especially in one of the most competitive fields in this world. Claimed by certain people, medical field has the most smart people. Before you gonna start scolding or backfiring me, i swear to god that i never said that in my whole life..Perhaps after reading the article, medical students or doctors out there would like to share few words about that?
