They're definitely important for deciding admission to med school, but beyond that I want to see their professional track record.
If a 50-year-old heart surgeon has never lost a patient in the operating room, then I don't care what they scored on their MCAT.

It took a combination of ethnicities of incompetent, non-communicative, lazy doctors to kill my step father-in-law. The entire field is broken by insurance and the pharmaceutical industry.
So if he had all whites working on him he would have lived?

Fine. Why do you think I would care?
Stop projecting your racism on me.

I think he's making the opposite point of what you're thinking.

Do you happen to know what their undergrad GPAs and MCAT scores were?
High enough that they in a matter of minutes diagnosed what the Indian and African doctors had misdiagnosed for months.

It took me 4 tries to get in (white male). Not saying that was the reason, but it probably didn't help. I'm now happily at LSU-NO. Best school I could have asked for.
Now the fun part is doing the work...

Don't disagree.

Agree. So when the nobility, respect, status of the profession has died, I'm not surprised that physicians want to be paid for their time, not be available 24/7,etc.
quote:
More access? The dr isn’t emailing you back, some bimbo clerical nurse is
Eh. Sorry I'm not handwriting notes to you. Just because the nurse is responding to you doesn't mean the physician didn't provide that instruction or response. They could have said no and made you come in for the visit. I'm responding to phone calls, emails and message via the nurse all day between patients for a few minutes. I guess I could call you over lunch or after the day is done and delay getting back my home and family. Or I could be late and continue to run behind appointment schedule because I decided to call you back instead seeing the next patient. That way I get to hear the next complaint on how doctors are always late to their appointment. Lose lose situation.

Doctors don’t care about anyones time, many of them think they are doing you a favor by seeing you even though they waste your time
Sorry you feel that way or that doctors made you feel thay way. As any in profession, many doctors suck, many doctors are doing their best to provide answers for not always clear diagnosis.

you are paying them thru a black box system.
Doctors hate insurance, patients hate insurance. So why are we still using it? Dunno.

I was being a bit facetious with my response. But I wonder if they graduated from US medical schools and not foreign medical schools.

What is lost on the people thinking melanin is a qualifying factor to Med School isn’t that I am arguing that more “whites” need to be admitted. In fact I am saying the only thing that should matter regardless your ethnicity is your academic achievement as delineated by the admissions standards……any argument against that is blatant racism. Being racist to correct past racism is wrong and actually ends up hurting the minority student as proven by Thomas Sowell.

I think I found a likely reason for the elevated admission rates in certain cohorts. The likely reason is HBCUs, of which I think there are between 10 and 15 across the country. From a quick look, each has 100+ medical students per year and their demographics skew around 80% Black Americans at the minimum. That would almost certainly explain the discrepancy, and explain the remarkable consistency in the acceptance rate of black students as well as the wide point difference in terms of the White American acceptance rates versus the Black American acceptance rates.

No need to wonder. Both were born raised, and attended medical school in the US. I believe my cardiologist attended med school in Alabama. He retired a little over a year ago. As for my heart surgeon, this is him…

I meant the two screwups. If they graduated from overseas. There are also studies that show that foreign medical graduates have the highest rate of medicare fraud.

Why would that matter? If they are board certified they are “qualified” right?

This is hilarious. People go to the foreign and Caribbean schools because the standards for admission are lower. Just a few posts ago you were arguing that the standards don’t really matter and all that matters is that you graduate.
You just destroyed your own argument

So you are saying medical schools aren’t actually looking at race?
