In this YouTube short, Kelly Alhooie argues that medical school training prioritizes learning how to obtain insurance reimbursement and prescribe medications, while neglecting essential preventive care topics such as nutrition, sleep, and stress management. She highlights a systemic bias toward treatment over prevention, suggesting that clinicians are ill‑prepared to address root causes of illness.

In school, they taught us the way that— of how to get reimbursed with— through insurance, and they taught us only how to effectively treat based on insurance. So if you're an MD, they taught you the medications that could potentially help these patients get over whatever issue they're having, but they did not teach you nutrition, sleep, stress management. They didn't teach you any of that to not get to the point where you need the medications, right?
