I’m not really sure how rigorous the training is - I do know that many folks educated in Pakistan have a hard time passing their step exams here and some have to try multiple times. Maybe that’s a reflection of the training there, or maybe its more of a language barrier? Regardless, the Indian candidates have a way easier time, so maybe there is some level of quality improvement that can be accomplished in Pakistani medical schools.
It also varies by which med school you’re talking about. Aga Khan’s program is good, and they try hard to minimize this problem with desi girl’s scapegoating out of the program because of marriage issues.
You can screen as much as you want, but fact is, that today, the candidate will tell you in her interview that she is committed to the field, and then later will renig and withdraw from med school, because MIL wants her to sit at home and make daal-roti. It happens often.
What disgusts me about this woman, is that she is upper-middle class, and as she is working, clearly her inlaws didn’t pull her out on accords of sitting at home taking care of kids.
She chose to get a medical degree, then chose not to practice it, and we are still calling her a doctor? For what? She’s not practicing and she made it a total joke to go to medical school. So that she can sit on a public TV show and be referred to as Doctor in every other sentence?
Do you guys not see that as sick?
I feel like throwing a rock at the screen every time she is on, and I hate it when my parents watch her show - I’m like…comon…she gives hard working female doctors a bad rep.
