And often, it’s not a medical school you’d expect. I did a random stroll through doctors on staff at Mayo, Yale, Harvard/Mass General and WashU (I assume those are sufficiently high powered programs) and looked at where specialists in oncology and cardiothoracic surgery went to med school ( I assume those are competitive enough specialties) and looked at where the physicians on staff went to med school. Medical staff came from a wide variety of medical schools–most of which were NOT elite schools. Places like Univ of Oklahoma, Howard University, SUNY-Stonybrook, University of Utah, Wayne State University, University of Connecticut, Albert Einstein, George Washington, University of Rochester, Univ of Massachusetts, Robert Wood Johnson, etc…
People rarely ask what med school a physician graduated from before deciding to accept treatment from the physician.
Discerning patients, however, will ask about their familiarity with the procedure, how often they’ve performed it, when they last performed it, and their success rate.
