It’s interesting. I had cancer last year and went to Vandy - its radiation residents come from mostly unheralded undergraduate schools:
- Sewanee
- Vandy
- Wisconsin
- USC
- Ole Miss
- UMass
- Lafayette
- Rhodes
Neurological Surgery
- Vandy
- OK State
- JHU
- Quinnipiac
- Texas A&M
- Florida State
- Pitt
- Holy Cross
- Florida A&M
Duke - Family Medicine
- Tuskegee
- Dartmouth
- UCF
- Muhlenberg
- UMN
- UNC
- Temple
- FSU
- Gannon
- Earlham
- Campbell
- Emory
Last year I looked at Vandy, Duke and Hopkins - there was K State and KU, Lipscomb, SE Louisiana, Luther, U Puerto Rico
So I’m not buying the top undergrad school thing. Heck the derm I just saw was U Kentucky and E Carolina med school. Good luck getting an appointment with her in 2026.
Medical pros come from all over undergraduate and medical schools - -top and not top schools, even at the highest ranking hospitals.
