Our surgeon general is 37? He can only be out if school for a max of 5-6 years....
Completed a residency in internal medicine in 2006. Basically, as best as I can tell, completion of a 3yr residency is his single medical claim to fame.

There's no way he could have been seeing a decent number of patients if he was busy making the necessary connections to become SG this young.

The role of the Surgeon General is to draw attention to pressing public health concerns.

BS Magna cum laude at Harvard in 3 years (Biochemical Sciences)
MD/MBA at Yale (was AOA)
Internal Medicine Residency at Brigham and Women's Hospital
Instructor at Harvard Medical School
Founder and President of Doctors for America
Served on the U.S. Presidential Advisory Council on Prevention, Health Promotion, and Integrative and Public Health
Chairman and Co-founder of TrialNetworks, a cloud-based Clinical Trial Optimization System

We could list the awards he won for patient care and teaching. Or his accolades for public service and leadership. But sure, reduce that CV to his residency completion 8 years ago.

The Dems just confirmed a 37 y/o whose medical claim to fame is that he completed an internal medicine residency in 2006. They are bragging about this? They are proud of it? It's like the frigging Twilight Zone.

and then today you post this same exact bullshite

For the record and easily found out, but most of you are lazy and willfully ill informed...

The Doc is fricking brilliant, talented, has initiative/drive and has cred...

He has an MD from Yale School of Medicine and a MBA in Health Care Management from the Yale School of Business, is the Co Founder of Doctors for America (a healtcare reform think tank of over 15000 members), was an instructor at Harvard Medicine, is the Co founder of TrialNetworks (a cloud based network devoted to helping people find pharmaceutical trials), created the Visions program for AIDS education in the US and India

but like I said

dont let easily researched facts get in the way.
