I'm related to a handful of physicians. my BF is in med school, he also comes from a medical family. in our social circle, physician is by far the most popular profession.

I guess I was wondering what the reason US citizens go to these small countries for Med School. Can they not get in here, or is the cost less and that is the reason. Is a Dr. better trained here? What is the level of science in other countries? I just don't know.
I was just surprised that every Dr. in this small group went to med school some where other than the US.
I like a small group better than a massive one. We have a HMO/PPO plan, so if I wanted an ob I could go to one as a PPO. My youngest is almost 17 so he really doesn't want to go to a pediatrician anymore. I was was thinking of switching three of us to one Dr. He also is just a couple miles from my house since we have been driving back to the mountain community we lived in prior to here to our dr.there.
