[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I want a board certified doctor who went to Med school in the US, not Mexico or the Carribean. [/b]I got into an argument with a receptionist at a doctor's office when I asked if a doctor was board certified. I wanted to book with the board certified doctor and she kept trying to book me with the doctor who went to Med school in Mexico and wasn't board certified. She kept yelling that she had hadn't heard of it so it must not be important. [/quote]

Same here. It is sure to offend people but I am not making an appointment with a dr. who went to school in Mexico, Caribean, India, or any other developing nation. And amongst US doctors, it matters to me whether they did their residency at Johns Hopkins or VCU. I'm sure there are good doctors from foreign schools and just as many smart people trained at VCU as UPenn but I think if you went to school at/trained at the higher end schools, you are more likely to have seen complex cases and thus are capable of dealing with whatever mundane issue I'm there for.
