I would think that it is impossible to go straight to Med. school from High School. There are programs that let you do one less undergraduate year, but I have never heard of anyone skipping all undergraduate work.

Unless you're iq is 546 you can just forget about it.

You are probably thinking about the Combined Degree programs offered at 36 schools in the US; however, you do not go straight to medical school from high school. That does not occur in the US. A Combined Degree is an alliance between a medical school and an undergrad university. You complete three years at the university and if you have met all requirements, then enter the medical school. After completing the first year of medical school you are awarded your undergrad degree. I'll provide the link to the 36 schools that offer the Combined Degree programs.
