I personally wouldn’t give a fk if I knew he went to a decent school, preferably not in a third world country. I once saw a terrible Indian doctor that told me he got his medical degree in some other country on an island I’ve never heard of. So basically made me understand anybody can get a medical degree if you really want to
if I knew he went to a decent school, preferably not in a third world country.
This is the gist of the article. People going through foreign schools. If you read the entire article ( https://archive.is/HFVPU ) it is clear that the article is lamenting the lack of diversity.
""Dr. William W. Pinsky, the chief executive of the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates,
which credentials graduates of international medical schools, said residency directors who down-rank medical students from abroad were missing
out on opportunities to diversify their programs."
"Some have test-taking anxiety and prefer to apply to schools that don’t rely on MCAT scores for admission; others are attracted by the warmth and adventure promised by schools based in the Caribbean, which tend to have acceptance rates that are 10 times as high as those of American schools."
"Most frustrating, Kyle said, is being unable to work when he is aware of the urgent need for Black physicians like himself, especially in places like Atlanta, where he was raised. “It really hurts, because everyone thinks I should be a doctor,” he said."
The article should have been titled : "Thousand of People Who Graduated a Medical Program Can't Get a Job as Doctors Because We Need More Diversity"
"I am worth it" as an opening line should have been a big clue that this article would be pure leftist whining drivel.
Here's another quote from the article: “Straight A’s in college and perfect test scores does not a perfect applicant make,” said Dr. Susana Morales, an associate professor of clinical medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York. “We’re interested in diversity of background, geographic diversity.”
Edit: also why did they not do some research before attending med school in a foreign country, is it not common knowledge that these graduates are at the bottom of the list when it comes to getting residency.
Yeah it's known. Some people don't want to hear it.
I've known attendings who came from Caribbean schools, but they graduated top of class, had unbeatable Step scores and generally found ways to make themselves competitive regardless. They earned their spot.
If you graduate with a meh CV from a foreign school, yeah no you won't match
