[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We spend much time researching a $20 Amazon purchase or where to get our car repaired.    I spend much more time researching credentials of anyone providing medical care to me and family members. Yes…I avoid Caribbean docs - and it dies not matter one bit where they completed the residency.  Almost everyone I know does the same.  [/quote]
That’s nice, but the best doctor I ever encountered in 50 years went to St. George’s, the worst went to Johns Hopkins. [/quote]

Yes this thread and PPs who are against Caribbean med graduates is insane. My DH, a graduate of a Caribbean med school is a respected dr who is top in his specialty in our area. He just didn’t get into a US med school. [/quote]
It is really just rank snobbery and (ironically) an inability to think critically in the judgment of another person’s competence and intelligence. If someone has graduated, passed boards and completed a US residency, what is the problem? [/quote]

There is a world of difference between passing and excelling. There’s a stigma associated with Caribbean schools whether you like it or not. You can keep working and try to surmount it, but institutions that rely on prestige for their brand are not required to accommodate your wishful thinking. [/quote]
Again, the Step exams are PASS/FAIL. The most anyone, whether they went to Harvard Medical School or a school in the Caribbean, is PASS. If you knew anything about this process, you would know that. You are just flexing your weird obsessive snobbery despite knowing nothing. [/quote]
