<p>As a physician, I have seen other physicians trained in the Dominican Republic and in other countries. It’s not at they have less knowledge, but trying to understand how to practice medicine in a foreign country is difficult. I would probably have extreme difficulty practicing medicine in India, my country of birth. I would NOT encourage my children to go to medical school in the Caribbean unless they planned on living there. FMG’s face discrimination in this country. They are rarely competitive for the most sought after residencies such as Dermatology, ENT, Ophthalmology. On the other hand, if they told me that they absolutely do not care if they get a residency position in a less than desirable program and don’t care about going into a specialty, that might be something different. But, I totally agree that whenever possible, medical education should be in this country, if possible.</p>
