Just amazing ranking a program based on the number of FMGs and DOs vs. MDs... Although I am not trying in any way to discount what SURG said, I am sure he is right, it happens. The again, lots of stupid things happen in the world and a lot of people out there are basically "cuttig off their nose to spite their face".
When I worked at Washington U. School of Medicine, there were plenty of foreign trained researchers there (does Dr. Levi Montalcini ring any bells?!) and plenty of foreign born and trained MDs doing fellowships. There were even a couple of DOs doing fellowships. I met a brilliant FMG (and foreign born to top it off, oh the horror!) surgeon on a heart/lung transplant team. I guess Wash U. got to the bottom of their applicant pool, no MDs left, and had to resort to FMGs and DOs?! Then again, Wash U.'s reputation is so well estabilished that they just pick the best applicants, no matter where they went to school, rather than bothering with little things such as if they are FMGs or DOs. On the other hand, lesser programs really have to make up for their lack of greatness by thinking of themselves as "exclusive clubs". Pretty lame!
