re: Would You Use A Doctor Who Graduated From A Med School in Caribbean?

I'd put Australian MDs (like the program with the last 2 years at Oschner) between DOs and Carribean. At least that's how we rank them for residency positions pre politics

Well as a medical student that was accepted into both a caribbean school and the Oschner program, I say freak that noise. The Ochsner program is over a $100K more expensive.

This is an actual stratification question, not a rhetorical one:
1) Do you consider Americans from the Aus/Ochsner program above Americans from the Caribbean above foreigners in the Caribbean?
2) And are there many actual Australians in the program? Are they +/- from the U.S. Kids going through there?
3) And where do Europeans from European med schools fall in your generalized, non-applicant dependent stratification (IE, do you look at the France/Greece/etc applications, or does someone throw away the sub-240(?) ones before they hit your desk?)
4) it seems as if Indian med grads are "a step below" the Europeans...? May just have been my experience doing some of my medicine rotations in Lafayette, and doing competitive subspecialties with a handful of Europeans.
