The Caribbean medical school from which the subject of this thread graduated boasts an 83% pass rate for their graduates taking part I of the national boards---and that's their number from their website
Graduates in an American Internal Medicine residency have a 99.4% pass rate
Graduates in an American Family Practice residency have a 91.7% pass rate (the difference most like is a result of family practice residencies taking on a lot of graduates of osteopathic schools and not medical schools

As is often said, the med student that graduated last in his/her class is still called doctor. In medicine, perhaps more than any other profession, the individual matters most. Academic pedigree may not matter the most but it's certainly a reasonable place to start. Now most of that information is available online. It used to be an early part of my conversation when interviewing a new PCP.
