It is important for physicians who want to do research or otherwise stay in academia, and is also very helpful for those that want to go to industry/consulting.

It’s also a very rewarding experience to see top physicians in action - they are usually not there for the money, and I think it is good for our young people to watch smart teams that will not tolerate mediocrity interact to improve, innovate, and push patient care forward.

I guess if money is your be-all-end-all then a top 20 med school isn’t “useful”. So, yes, I would take free or cheap tuition over a top 20 med school any day; however, I would shoot for a top residency because it really is impressive to watch the elite teams in action.

And I agree thar doctors have plenty of flaws, but in general, as a patient, I do want a smarter better trained doctor who isn’t lazy and isn’t in it solely for the money.

And so many go to the Caribbean for med school. But are they qualified doctors?

Which are considered elite medical schools?

I heard that something like 30% of the undergrads at UCLA are premed and I know that the clubs and classes are incredibly competitive. Makes me think that you might be better off going to a smaller school for premed for good med school admissions.
