Sooo, when will somebody write a paper on the relationship between IMG/AMG's and the quality and standing of path departments?

Lemme give a little input... At Memorial Sloan-Kettering there's 32 attendings, of which.... wait for it.....
22 have a non-US degree. Similar #'s for MD Anderson.

Obviously they're not representative, except inasmuch as they're apparently, according to the US News hacks, the two top cancer hospitals in the US.

One might hypothesize that their reputation might falter somewhat, if they would all of a sudden loose all their FMG's, as per LADoc00's dictatorial decree.

Oh, and those two institutions aren't the worst-paying in the country among academic institutions, btw. So the idea that IMG's are the kiss of death for sixfigure paychecks is perhaps not entirely based on fact.

Damn! Promised myself that I wouldn't continue this stupid AMG-IMG war. I'll stop now. Promise..... Cross my heart or I'll go Green tomorrow.

This AMG-IMG $hit is getting old. The smartest thing to do would be to try to open communication and understanding between all new pathologists. This is the only way to prevent government, lawyer interests in to dictating how we do our job. We need to represent as a whole and this in turn prevent people from taking low paying positions, as well as gvt, insurance, and wholesale labs controlling our future. Since we are divided among the stupidest of issues (AMG vs. IMG) we are getting killed by those out side of medicine and doing nothing about it. This is the only way to secure a fruitful career as well as preserving our craft for future generations.
