i had some raised eyebrows from people before I left for school. Not many people had heard of Caribbean schools, and those that had often did so because of the post cards on the walls at undergrad. Whe I started clinicals, I rotated with US students. I expected some comments from them, but never got any. I never had any problem with anyone during my residency. The only comment that I got was from an old guy who was volunteering who said something about my not going to a "real medical school". I was chief resident at that time...I just laughed and told him that was right, and all i could prescribe were placebos. He didn't get it. I got a job with no problem. It is rare that people ask. When they do they say "that must have been fun". I get plenty of referrals from the attendings I did residency under. When the cardiologists have patients that need an internist, they give me a call. I think that is the sincerest form of flattery. Don't worry about what other people think. There isn't much discrimination in the real world. G
