A lot of good professionals out there that f'd off through school.
I'm ok with it if they are good at their job and have common sense.
Some really smart high GPA doctors that know the book but don't have any common sense. Just depends.

If they are/were AOA, you know they did pretty well in med school. IYKYK.

They are still called Dr no matter their graduation rank

The reason most of you did not care is because standards were never this poor. What you are seeing now and in the past few years is atrocious and there will be lots of malpractice as a result -you are damn right I care.

one would hope "the boards" will weed them out. this, after the professional school let them slide through, after they somehow got into school with sub standard grades and scores.
there were several DEI students with my wife that never passed the board.

I’ll say it. She only got in because she is a minority. The scale of difficulty in getting in is completely different for white or Asian men. Probably tough for Asian women too compared to black or Hispanic women. No way she gets in as a white guy or Asian.

I avoid black doctors at all cost and this is the reason why. Nothing personal.

No, that’s not true, but you can ask around and find out.

This ain’t the old days where you mostly had public and elite private non-profit med schools. The number of shitty private for-profit med schools (usually DO because it’s easy to get accredited) being paid 70-80k a year by the government has exploded and many of the students from their are subpar

I care about their med school grades and boards.
