Do doctors learn to give shots and stitches by practicing on themselves in medical school?
There are many ways that medical students learn their clinical skills. Shots and IV cannulae are practiced on models to begin with, and once the basics are mastered we can begin to sharpen our skills on really people.
Stitches are learned in theory, and then on models or on pieces of meat (pigs feet from the butchers being a favourite) before moving on to real patients!
Does Brigham Young have a medical school?

Is medical school harder than law school?
I would say that med school is harder to graduate from, but law school is harder to do well in (if that makes sense). In other words they're not going to let you be a doctor if you are an idiot, but any idiot can graduate from a second tier law school. Where law school becomes harder is in the top 100 schools. There you are competing (don't forget law school uses a bell curve) against fellow students who are equally as smart as you. Thus if you want to graduate in the top 10% of your law school class, you will work harder than a med student, but if you're ok with mediocrity, than law school can be quite easy.
I would just like to add that all law schools across the country require essentially the same curriculum, so with respect to doing well, it really does not matter whether one is at tier one or the lowest rank law school in the country. They are both hard degrees to obtain and I think the only way to actually determine whether one is harder than the other is to graduate from both! Otherwise, it's just really speculation.
