[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve interacted with many doctors, doctorates who I do not consider highly educated. Highly educated to me means someone who is well read and aware of different culture’s traditions and views, [b]who is not resistant to learning[/b]. [/quote]

I also believe this is key. They present as interesting people who listen as opposed to people who think they know everything and don't listent. [/quote]

No, highly educated doesn’t mean they listen well.  It means they have completed a high level of education.  It’s not (or shouldn’t be) a compliment or a criticism, just a statement of fact.  The may be good or bad listeners, arrogant or humble, rude or considerate.[/quote]

They may have completed it but did they fully understand concepts, or did they scrape by with minimum grades or rote memorization for the day of the exam?[/quote]

You can get a PhD with minimum grade and rote memorization.  MD and JD are specifically designed to ensure you memorize terrifying amounts of information.  But you definitely also have to understand the concepts to get your degree.[/quote]
