To be a doctor they go through the same accreditation process as any other doctor, thus have the same basic skill-set.
Ofcourse individual competence and skill may vary depending on specialization, experience, etc. etc.

That being said, I sure as hell wouldn't trust a doctor in some backwash country like Somalia or similar shit. Though if it comes to seeing a doctor then, there's probably not much choice anyways...

A doctor from a backwash country is prob better since he would have to deal with more diseases and work with less equipment meaning that his book knowledge would have to be on point to be successful.

Here is somthing that I read when I was young and as always stuck with me.

In Texas they have a test called the TAAS test. It's taken at the end of the year to see if you will move to the next grade or not.

When I was in 3rd grade I read on the back of one the pervious year average test scores broken down by race.
White was the highest followed by Asian and black cane in dead last.

This was 95 so good lucky finding that info today. I'm not sure why that always stuck with me but take it fir what its worth. We a all sat in the same classes had the same teachers but yet there scores where quite a bit lower. Still not sure why that is

Just spew out that whites are smarter than any other race. What's not sure about it dumbass  ::)
Or do u assume there was a racist hidden agenda?

Read an article about difference between races and education, which seems most logical. Asians in general score highest, 2nd whites then blacks. But parent's influence is crucial, in short asian parents are super strict, whites support their kids decision, blacks mostly grow up with moms or just bad role model parents.
So if u see some blacks who made it with high grades, chances are they work harder to get there. Well there is this racial quota but grades don't lie.

About asians scoring the highest on paper but they do poorly when it comes to practice. Most high career positions are dominated by whites.
Asians weren't good at making decisions or leading subordinates. And a survey revealed that physical height plays a role too. Most in high positions were 6 feet+, which helps having a convincing authority.

Well, some medical schools will accept less than stellar applicants based on race. I have friends who've completed medical school and their residencies and I've heard it all. A friend of mine does interviews at a university near me and says he's seen other interviewers lean towards less than ideal candidates for reasons such as that. Granted, we don't have many black people where I live so I'm not saying that happens specifically with black people here. Although, I've heard of things online but don't know how much validity there is behind such claims (they're often exaggerated and racially charged).

To be entirely honest though, I like Asian and Indian doctors myself. All the white doctors I know here are spineless. One told me I ingested rat poison when I had an adverse reaction to m1t (seriously... rat poison) and another couple of doctors I know wouldn't do their job once they found out someone is undergoing an insurance claim - totally backed down and said he wasn't sure why they're in pain still and said he can't treat them, go somewhere else. Just being a doctor doesn't mean too much these days. Unfortunately doctors are still people and that means inherent flaws in integrity, honesty, etc. Can't judge solely on race, but I like to start with the yellow and brown fellas as they've been the safest bet for me.

Many get admitted to med school through affirmative action (e.g. were objectively less qualified than the white and Asian students, and were admitted over an objectively more qualified white or Asian student).

That is not to say when they obtain their degree that they are less competent than a non-minority graduate, but the baseline on average is lower.

It depends. There are some very "skilled" AA doctors. However, one can't dismiss the fact that many AAs are admitted to med school w/ lesser credentials than their white counterparts. The fact that everyone has to pass the "boards" is true but tests can be studied for and passed by people w/ lesser intellectual ability assuming they have prepared correctly for the specific test. If you are looking for a doctor w/ the highest degree of innate intelligence, on average, it is more likely to be a white or Asian doctor, than an AA. Whether that doctor is more "skilled" is another question.

Please don't make it blatantly obvious that you are clueless and haven't even mastered your own native language.

Quote from:  wiki
A skilled worker is any worker who has special skill, training, knowledge, and (usually acquired) ability in their work. [...]

Besides, you were the one asking about "skill" differences among white Americans and black American doctors.

We are talking intellectual capability to identify, analyze and cure an illness.  This isn't a fucking basketball game.


Reread the definition of the word 'skill', see the similarities in what you wrote and what the word "skill" means?
Ah yes, keep on with the profanities, it just emphasizes how obtuse you are and how unable you are at using arguments in a discussion.

You seem to take discussions personal when someone doesn't agree with you. It's a bad character trait you know?

The scores of blacks accepted into medical are a lot lower.  I don't know how that reflects on performance in medical school or as a doctor.  I'm sure the information is out there but I haven't bothered to look. However, it does indicated the pool of black medical students is going to be of lower quality.  It's likely that the level of performance at a medical school will stay about the same level as undergraduate performance.
