NC Tigah,
You are correct. I said I had a "few beers" as in quite a few. And you are correct, they openly said the schools got the lists of those who did not score too highly on their mcats apparently.
Imagine, ya cant get into med schools in the states, option B, hang out in the Caribbean and get the same degree. Most of these kids had very wealthy parents apparently.
As a sidenote NC, even though its an ideal setting for school, even peaceful Grenada has its issues. One of the girls was a stunning beauty, with a visible scar from her ear to her chin. She said one day she was walking in town and this fella high as a kite broke a beer bottle and slashed her as she walked by. Said she would get the plastic surgery after she finished school, lest it happened again and she would have to do it twice

Took the FLEX and was accepted as a Fellow at Mayo. You need more?

Regarding Caribbean Schools, as stated previously in the thread, med school is a mere step midway in the staircase. That is especially true in a US domestic environment where "selectivity" is """influenced."""

Whoopi thought Dr. Jill was qualified to be Surgeon General, so why not?

I hear you, but the issue I’m raising is not if she is qualified. I’m asking if her background will hinder her in the confirmation process. The goal for the POTUS is to get your nominee into the job. I’m wondering if her medical school will be ammunition to use against her
Markwayne Mullin is head of Homeland Security and he never graduated from college.

Where are the pictures. If Trump nominated a woman it means she’s hot. I know my dawg.

Residency is way more important than med school
You dont learn how to be a doctor in med school

The "pedigree" a patient should be interested in is the residency and/or fellowship most closely tied to the MD's practice. Odd as it sounds, a pedigree med school is almost inconsequential by comparison. The value of the Med School pedigree is the inside track it provides to postgrad training programs for the doctor.
Yep, it’s rising up the pyramid.
Which high school you go to only matters until college, which only matters until med school, which only matters until residency, which only matters until fellowship.

It will be, even if one wants to argue it’s inconsequential due to what she achieved post med school. There is no doubt that in terms of overall quality, Caribbean med schools are not the same standard as US allopathic institutions.

First of all, thank you. You might be the first person who actually understood and responded to the point of the OP.
Yeah, I have no doubt the woman is a qualified physician. Excellent even. She teaches at an Ivy League med school so without question she's qualified to be the Surgeon General.
But this is a political issue.. The goal of the Democrats is to disrupt Trump's presidency as much as possible, and that includes derailing his nominees.
Which leads to the second point:

I think that is also the perception of the general public and it's not hard to imagine that the Dems will bring this up in her confirmation process. Whether or not they succeed in derailing her remains to be seen.

He WAS accurate. The question was “Where did Bill Gates go to college.” There is only one correct answer to that, and it is “Harvard.”

I can answer that one. OMMG is unpopular with a segment of the board's Conservatives. They're not downvoting the point he made. They could not care less about that. They're downvoting him. I used examples just like this in arguing against the upvote/downvote system when it was installed by the board's owners, but, alas, my POV was in the minority.

Where she went to medical school isn’t important. The important parts are residency and fellowship.
