[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bottom line, if you had to have a serious surgery, would you pick an MD over DO and Carib. graduate?[/quote]

US DO over Caribbean MD. I won’t see a Caribbean MD if they were from the US to begin with. I would see a foreign medical graduate who was from that country and came here to train and work. That’s different from a US citizen who couldn’t get into a US school.[/quote]

LMAO here. My spouse  is an American medical school grad who did his residency at Columbia in a competitive specialty. 2 of his friends are cardiologists (not local) and went to med schools elsewhere (one Caribbean and one in Tel Aviv). His bestie (also a friend of the other two) is a radiologist who went to a US medical school. They all get personal medical advice from each other all the time, without regard for which med school they went to. All had US residencies. (One of the cardiologists is married to another us med school grad who as at the tops of her specific surgical field)

My husband was waitlisted for med school (got in a few weeks before it started). His friend the radiologist was rejected the first time and made it in the next year, after spending a year cleaning beakers in a  chemistry lab. Even with those 'stats,' they both ended up being towards the top of the class, based on the scores exams etc.

All to say that Americans at the foreign meds schools can do just fine, and the amount of unfounded snobbery on this board is out of control.[/quote]
