Q. Is there any advantage to attending a top med school?A. My previous answer to the advantages of attending top medical schools in matching with top competitive residency programs. Bottom line, even though the best students in any medical school can match into their specialty choice, graduates from top medical schools regardless of class rank, tend to favor the more competitive specialties (less primary care) and match into the best residency programs in those specialties. This is particularly helpful if there is aspiration for an academic career and perhaps leadership in that specialty, the politics of that specialty and perhaps leadership in medicine/medical education (US and transnational) where pedigree matters. I analyzed the 2016 Match data from medical schools of various tiers.Q. Do med students who go to schools such as JHU, Stanford, UCLA, WashU, etc., have an easier time matching with the top competitive residency programs?A2A. From the 2016 match, top tier schools did very well in matching to the most competitive specialties. Many took their own students eg. Stanford matched Dermatology (6). There is disproportionate representation in the most sought after fields, like Wash U matching Orthopedics (10), JHU matching ENT (8), and Duke matching Opthalmology (9), despite class size of only 96. The programs they match into are top tier in their specialties as well. These schools have a high percentage not going into Primary Care, giving room for Caribbean/osteopathic graduates. Mid tier schools like Texas A&M (class size may be a factor) astoundingly matched Dermatology (10), Opthalmology (3), Orthopedics (8). Newly opened schools like Texas Tech El Paso matched Dermatology (1), Opthalmology (3), Orthopedics (3), and Neurosurgery (1). Even the inaugural class of U of South Carolina Greenville matched into Orthopedics (2), Neurosurgery (1), and Urology (1).General Surgery is in decline.In the end, if you performed well in any US medical school and have commendable USMLE scores, you have a good chance of matching into your desired specialty.Harvard matched Dermatology (10), Opthalmology (6), Neurosurgery (2), OMFS (3), Orthopedics (4), Otolaryngology (3), Rad Onc (8), Urology (3), Vascular Surg (2).Stanford matched Dermatology (7), Opthalmology (2), Neurosurgery (2), Orthopedics (3), Otolaryngology (2), Rad Onc (2), Vasc Surg (1).Yale matched Dermatology (4), Opthalmology (4), Neurosurgery (2), Orthopedics (6), ENT (4), Rad Onc (4), Urology (3).JHU matched Dermatology (1), Opthalmology (4), Neurosurgery (4), Orthopedics (5), ENT (8), Urology (3).Wash U matched Dermatology (6), Opthalmology (3), Orthopedics (10), Otolaryngology (1), Rad Onc (2), Urology (3), Vascular Surg (1).Duke matched Dermatology (2), Opthalmology (9), Neurosurgery (3), Orthopedics (8), Otolaryngology (1), Rad Onc (2), Plastic Surg (3).Texas A&M matched Dermatology (10), Opthalmology (3), Orthopedics (8), Otolaryngology (2), Plastic Surgery (2), Urology (2), Vascular Surg (1).Texas Tech El Paso matched Dermatology (1), Opthalmology (3), Orthopedics (3), Neurosurgery (1).U South Carolina- Greenville (inaugural class) matched Neurosurgery (1), Orthopedics (2), Urology (1).Touro California / TUCOM-CA matched AOA programs in Opthalmology (1), Orthopedics (1), ENT (1), Neurosurgery (1).Ross University - Primary Care 2016 Ross University ResidencyHMS 2016 Match ListAnesthesiology (5) MGH, BWH (3), BIDMCDermatology (9) UCSF, NYU, Harvard (3), Stanford, NYP-Columbia, Duke, UPMCMed-Derm (1) HarvardEmergency Medicine (9) Harvard BWH/MGH (2), NYU, Stanford, UNC, HopkinsDuke, Georgia Regents, Rutgers RWJMSFamily Medicine (4) Contra Costa, Brown/Memorial Hosp, Swedish Med Center/First Hill, Harbor-UCLAGeneral Surgery (6) BWH, U Washington, Stanford, BIDMC, UCSF East Bay, BMCInternal Medicine-Primary Care (8) UCSF, BWH (2), MGH (3), CHA, BIDMCInternal Medicine (34) JHU (2), MGH (7), BWH (8), UCSF (2), NYP-Columbia (2), U Washington (2), Stanford (3), Brown (3), NYP-Cornell (research), UCLA (2),BIDMC, NYU, OHSUChild Neuro (1) CHBNeurology (6) (BWH/MGH) (4), NYP-Columbia, Mt.

Q. How much does going to a high ranking medical school matter in terms of being able to go to a highly competitive residency? Also, does school rank matter as much as the medical school you attend?A. Previous answer on the same subject. In the process of analyzing the 2018 Match Data. TN's answers to:Q. Is there any advantage to attending a top med school?My previous answer to the advantages of attending top medical schools in matching with top competitive residency programs. Bottom line, even though the best students in any medical school can match into their specialty choice, graduates from top medical schools regardless of class rank, tend to favor the more competitive specialties (less primary care) and match into the best residency programs in those specialties. This is particularly helpful if there is aspiration for an academic career and perhaps leadership in that specialty, the politics of that specialty and perhaps leadership in medicine/medical education (US and transnational) where pedigree matters. I analyzed the 2016 Match data from medical schools of various tiers.One other point. There is no consensus ranking for medical schools. May be ball park for top 20 schools. The US News ranking is contrived. It ranks schools with the most NIH funding for research and another for the strength of their primary care programs. These criteria are dubious and nobody cares, except may be premeds.Residency programs know about your school and its reputation in academic circles in their specialty. Medical schools do not have across the board excellent residencies in all specialties. So your particular medical school may have a mediocre residency program in that specialty. That department is what the residency programs know about your school. In my time, the General Surgery residency program at Duke University was top notch. But the Anesthesiology residency program was on probation. Perhaps in their interdepartmental skirmishes, the Anesthesiology Department was overshadowed, hence unable to recruit outstanding faculty. Just my wild guess. If you were to apply for General Surgery, you certainly were well trained knowing the reputation of the department. If you were to apply for Anesthesiology, your medical school may not be as well thought of.Q. Do med students who go to schools such as JHU, Stanford, UCLA, WashU, etc., have an easier time matching with the top competitive residency programs?A2A. From the 2016 match, top tier schools did very well in matching to the most competitive specialties. Many took their own students eg. Stanford matched Dermatology (6). There is disproportionate representation in the most sought after fields, like Wash U matching Orthopedics (10), JHU matching ENT (8), and Duke matching Opthalmology (9), despite class size of only 96. The programs they match into are top tier in their specialties as well. These schools have a high percentage not going into Primary Care, giving room for Caribbean/osteopathic graduates.

"We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office." - Aesop (620-560 BC)"Just because you (do not take an interest in politics)* doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you." - Pericles (495-429 BC) (*)original Greek definition of a village idiot, according to JFK"The abuse of buying and selling votes crept in and money began to play an important part in determining elections. Later on, this process of corruption spread in the law courts and to the army, and finally, when even the sword became enslaved by the power of gold, the republic was subjected to the rule of emperors." - Plutarch"A prince never lacks legitimate reasons to break his promise." - Niccolo Machiavelli"If one would give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest man, I would find something in them to have him hanged." - Cardinal Richelieu 1641"The English people believes itself to be free; it is gravely mistaken; it is free only during election of members of parliament; as soon as the members are elected, the people is enslaved; it is nothing. In the brief moment of its freedom, the English people makes such a use of that freedom that it deserves to lose it." - Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-78)"The true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedients, and by parts." - Edmund Burke (1729-97)"...Neither body to jail nor soul to damn." - Lord Edward Thurlow (1731-1806) describing a new British invention, the corporation. One might add, nowadays, "nor conscience to pique, nor death to ponder.""Devil take the hindmost." - Colonial Record of Georgia (1742, when the majority of its population were slaves)"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." - Thomas Jefferson - "There is...an artificial aristocracy founded on wealth and birth, without either virtue or talents.... The artificial aristocracy is a mischievous ingredient in government, and provisions should be made to prevent its ascendancy.""The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them." - Patrick Henry"The preservation of the means of knowledge among the lowest ranks is of more importance to the public than all the property of all the rich men in the country." - John Adams"Ignorant, restless desperadoes, without conscience or principles, have led a deluded multitude to follow their standard, under pretense of grievances which have no existence but in their own imaginations." - Abigail Adams"[America] goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. She will commend the general cause by the countenance of her voice, and the benign' sympathy of her example. She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force. She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit." - John Quincy Adams, US House, 7/4/1821"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." - Frederic Bastiat"Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful." - Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche - "The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher regard those who think alike than those who think differently.""Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid ..., it is true that most stupid people are conservative." - John Stewart Mill (1806-1873) "I never meant to say that the conservatives are ... stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it.""There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." and "There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity." and "Divide and rule, a sound motto. Unite and lead, a better one.""The nose of a mob is its [dimmed] imagination. By this, at any time, it can be quietly led." - Edgar Allen Poe"You'll never go broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public." - P. T. Barnum (1810-91)"It is the weakness and danger of republics that the vices as well as virtues of the people are represented in their legislation." - Helen Hunt Jackson (1830-85)"TYRANNY OF THE MAJORITY.(title of a section in his book, Democracy in America, Volume I, Chapter XV, 1835) ... In America the majority raises formidable barriers around the liberty of opinion; within these barriers an author may write what he pleases, but woe to him if he goes beyond them." - Alexis de Tocqueville - "The President ... may err ... Congress may decide amiss ... But if the Supreme Court is ever composed of imprudent or bad men, the Union may be plunged into anarchy or civil war." Bk 1, Ch 8."(Jefferson's) ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. They rested upon the assumption of the equality of races. This was an error. ... Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery -- subordination to the superior race -- is his natural and normal condition."

We have gone there to conquer, not to redeem. It should, it seems to me, be our pleasure and duty to make those people free, and let them deal with their own domestic questions in their own way. And so I am an anti-imperialist. I am opposed to having the eagle put its talons on any other land." Mark Twain, New York Herald, Oct. 15, 1900."There are two ideas of government. There are those who believe that, if you will only legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, their prosperity will leak through on those below.

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes." - Maj.-Gen.

I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle-man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."

Flynn (1882-1964, American writer), 1944"The people don't want war, but" they "can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy.

We need things consumed, burned up, worn out, replaced and discarded at an ever-increasing rate." - Victor Lebow, retail analyst, a few years after WWII"Our willingness to part with something before it is completely worn out is a phenomenon noticeable in no other society in history...

Murrow"For the corporation executives, the military metaphysic often coincides with their interest in a stable and planned flow of profit; it enables them to have their risk underwritten by public money; it enables them reasonably to expect that they can exploit for private profit now and later, the risky research developments paid for by public money. It is, in brief, a mask of the subsidized capitalism from which they extract profit and upon which their power is based." - C. Wright Mills, Causes of World War 3, 1960."We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security." and "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex.

From one day to another, another nation is made out to be utterly depraved and fiendish, while one's own nation stands for everything that is good and noble.

Even good deeds by the enemy are considered a sign of particular devilishness, meant to deceive us and the world, while our bad deeds are necessary and justified by our noble goals which they serve." - Erich Fromm(A just society is the one in which a reasonable person would choose to live, without knowing, in advance, with what advantages he'd be born.) - John Rawls, Harvard philosophy professor"As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don't you forget it - whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash." - Harper Lee"Dante once said that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in a period of moral crisis maintain their neutrality." and "A nation that is afraid to let its people judge truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people." - John F Kennedy"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket.

He was certainly genial, a decent guy, a 3rd rate actor that had his career revived by the advice by his new father-in-law, Dr. Davis (a supporter the John Birch Society) 'Go where the money is!' In other words flack for 20 Mule Team Borax and GE. This confused guy even voted for FDR four times by his own admission. He learned that it was 'good business' to give up a lifetime of supposed ideals. He was a quick study, but basically a 'dope' who was lost without a script. ... He even thought that the CO2 from a tree was equivalent to a car's emissions. He was a 'stiff' built up by his handlers. His last term was a disaster, and to cap it off, during the Poindexter and McFarlane Trials, he said under oath over 400 times that he did not remember! With a history of Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, and Nixon I can understand easily that the 'flat-earth' luddites of the new GOP love to worship the memory of the 'Gipper' whose understanding of the problems of this country matched his inability to answer a question 'off the cuff.'
