Kasha, you are right in at least one thing.

There are exams here which have questions that we could not answer from just going to class.

I hate it.

But I would hate it more to not be prepared when a patient asks me a question.

Patients expect you to have all the answers whether it was covered in a class or not.

When you give the wrong answer on an exam it means a B or C.

When you give the wrong answer to a patient it means malpractice.

The U.S. has some of the best medical schools in the world.
Top Ten in fact.

The problem is that only 10 schools are in that top ten.

What about the worst ten medical schools in the US?

What about the WHOLE Lower 50%.
Good God what are they teaching those students!

I am sorry to say that they are teaching the same thing that all the other schools are teaching. They are passing on medical information for the USMLE. And trying not kill any patients in the process.

To imagine that there is some incremental heirarchy where students from Princeton and Harvard are the best doctors in the nation is silly.
As silly as thinking that all the students from Michigan State University are all awaiting their trials as future Kervorkians

Each doctor is their own person. And a doctor that can pass the board and communicate well with mexican natives will be welcome in many programs in the U.S.

UAG has its place and it is much better than the bottom 10 medical schools in the U.S..
UAG may be better than the 50% level compared to medical schools in the U.S.

uagdoc, who are you warning for which statement.

My thread is all about being positive and knowing that their are tiers everywhere if you look, but they don't really count.

People from Harvard can keep score at a Lacrosse match.

People from UAG can ask where it hurts in Spanish.

You must determine for yourself which is more useful.

People from Harvard can do far more than that (including ask "Where does it hurt?" in Spanish like any 2nd grader after a couple of minutes of teaching them). If that's the redux of your argument, yeah, I'll stop wasting my time now.

And please, please, stop re-posting your posts over and over. I know you want to get your post count up, but what's said is said.

First of all, u guys need to look back at prev threads, according to one of them, DR. M did throw a shelf in once yet never covered rel material. NOw if this info is false, u did not claim it was false last fall when it was posted as a thread, only after I am bringing this info back up again do u seem to be making this implication. If my friends are somehow unique and do not work as u claim, what is the schools REAL AND HONEST passing rate, my two friends may not have been in the top 10% of the class, but they were at least average, I do believe they are honest with me and give me cred info regarding the pros and cons of UAG. I am also not claiming carrb schools are better then UAG, esp ROss which has grown so large many of their students are not matching.
ive never seen dr m give us a shelf. u know, i did hear about that from someone somewhere, but i wouldnt know. i think it was a segundo. stufying hard keeps u out of those...

group hug sounds good, maybe some cookies too. can u bake kasha?

you want to say: "we are very excited to tell you that we analyzed your husbands prostate mass and its benign"

Harvard guy says "estamos muy excitados que miramos la masa de la prostituta de su esposo y es bueno."

UAG grad doubts the harvard guy got sexually turned on...

it can get tricky people, learn your spanish

Golly Hexo, I am just glad that a thread with such a silly premise got so much play.

I was just trying to direct people away from negativism.

No you though, Negativism is your bread and butter. And from the looks of you your steak, potatoes, donuts, doritos and meatloaf.
