so you're trying to say that he'll be a midget among dwarves?

Jealous asshole. He worked at BWH/BCH before he matched at Loma Linda and every faculty at your Harvard was impressed with him and liked him. He operates better than fellows. He is already a neurosurgeon and completed multiple fellowships in the US. As a side note you need to understand, your Harvard is a shitty program and only lives by institution name. You guys are delusional but the reality is both Harvard programs are crap.

Mr. Trump, there are plenty of well qualified FMG that are currently in US neurosurgery residencies. There are many more FMG neurosurgeons that are teaching and training US medical graduates. You will have to learn and live with it.

BWH is overrated. MGH is still very good but their incoming resident class raises some red flags for me.

For the Guest with concerns for FMGs: 
Maybe you should consider expressing your opinion to chairmen like James Rutka, Nelson  Oyesiku, Raj Narayan, and many more. I am pretty sure you will get a decent answer. Good luck with your residency, don't spend too much time complaining about others, just do your job.

They both have high step scores >250 which is the NUMBER 1 predictor of neurosurgery capabilities

[Guest]

it is the only predictor, and AOA

Red flags?

Can anyone confirm that LLU is actually shut down and that all the residents had to transfer? There website is still up. Assuming the accreditation is reinstated, would they just start from scratch with a new PGY-1?
