    graduate

    lack basic knowledge

    Why are they graduating in the first place? Who is passing these students? Stop passing students who can’t show they learned anything, maybe? Novel idea, I know.

      It’s mostly private institutions passing people because they just care about the money and nothing else.

    It’s no surprise that federal public universities have received the highest marks; they are universally recognized as the best. But the evaluation of medical programs has also revealed that tuition fees can be inversely proportional to the quality of the education being offered. Medicine schools that scored the lowest (1 or 2 on a scale of 1-5) charge each student between $1,100 and $2,600 a month, according to a detailed analysis by Veja magazine. This is veritable fortune in a country where the minimum wage is $313 a month.

    How can you charge so much compared to their minimum wage and still be so bad?

      Students that are paying a fortune can expect and demand high grades for little work, they’re paying extra for the “deluxe” degree where all the hard stuff is done for them. It’s really common with for-profit universities.

      I mean… American minimum wage comes out to $1256 monthly (assuming full-time, and that’s pre-tax). Community college comes in pretty cheap at $450 a month on average, but four year universities come up to $4,800 on average (assuming full-time enrollment for both). The cheapest MD programs I can find are still close to twice the minimum wage, and that’s assuming you get in-state tuition, since out of state is usually 2-3x more.

    The global economy is so broken that there’s barely financial incentive to become a doctor anymore. The system only sustained for so long because we outsourced medical training to places like South Africa.
