Yes, you could. But as someone who quit after medical school (now program for a living) -- make sure you actually like it. Because its a pretty demanding and time consuming job. Additionally, my wife is a Dentist. Dental school is both easier, shorter (no residency, some 3 don't even require a full undergrad) and depending on the job, makes comparable salaries. I know few dentists that work > 4 days a week. Personally, I'd hate the work. And I know plenty of M.D.'s who love medicine and would not be happy being a Dentist. But if you think you'd like it, I don't think there's a better job out there.
