There also seems to be a rather big discrepancy between doctors affiliated with Munroe and those at TVH/Leesburg. If you read each hospital's website, they list the background & schooling of many of their physicians. TVH/Leesburg seems to have a rather large amount of 3rd world doctors educated at medical schools that are not well known, while the majority of doctors at Munroe Regional have been schooled at well-known American medical schools.

Well now that opens a whole different issue. Are the docs from those schools less than the best??? Have a son who recently graduated magna cum laude from the University of North Carolina. He is 28 with life experience working in the ER of a hosptial in South Carolina and several years working experience in a psychiatric facility, EMT certified and has done Meals on Wheels for several years and actually saved someone's life 'cause he recognized one his stops was not right and the man was having heart problems. But unless he scores absolutely OUTSTANDING on the MCAT (test for admission to medical school) he won't get a spot in a US school 'cause he is a white male and their are only a few spots for those kids.
So I hear you concerns about those "other" medical schools, but not so sure if they are correct. At least the Caribbean schools require you to do your residency in Miami. May be the new "normal".
