You want to send someone through med school for the sole purpose of them writing Wikipedia articles afterwards? Interesting idea...
I think you misunderstood the hypothetical scenario, which is based on the premise that editing Wikipedia is more exciting than mowing lawns, flipping burgers, or selling products door-to-door (to cover any extant deficiency in financial aid). Incidentally I'm sure some would dispute this premise. Obviously one would go to med school to pursue their own dream of becoming a surgeon or a dermatologist or whatever.
Ah, you mean editing in their spare time to fund their way through med school? I think that's one serious problem with that - you don't get spare time in med school. It's very intensive.
