[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]a thought experiment for everyone: suppose you are getting heart surgery this week and there are two surgeons available.  You can google them and find they are both 40-45 yo and worked in the same hospital for the last 15 years. One of them graduated from Harvard Medical and the other graduated from some osteopathic medical college in the Carribbean.  You know nothing else about them. Who are you picking?

Everyone who chose the Harvard grad should accept the fact that the college name means something (however small that might be).

Everyone who chose the osteopathic merical college in the Carribbean grad is lying and making bad-faith arguments on this board.[/quote]

Medical school is very different from undergrad!!!!  I don't care where my accountant went to school, as long as they are a certified CPA and passed all the certification tests.

However, for doctors, yes I care where they went at some level---I'm not keen on those who went to Caribbean medical school as I know it's not as rigorous, however if they are board certified in the USA then I don't care as much because they had to pass the same rigorous test as the Harvard grad to get that.  However, if the doc went to Harvard vs UMich or Ohio State Med school (do they have one?) and are board certified, I dont' really care---I care how long they have been in practice and board certified, where they have worked, their reviews and how much of an expert they are for the type of heart surgery I am getting.[/quote]
