I remember this study. Makes sense. They are the cream of the crop. They are top docs. They're the best grads from their school.
They can study months, years, for USMLE. And they are smart. They can certainly outscore American-mainland rejects, who resort to Caribbean for-profit schools.
Many US-IMGs from many caribbean schools have higher mortality rates.
