I've been wondering about this too. I think we should address this to bbb?

A residency is not a diploma - it's a certificate. Doing residency in the USA doesn't automatically give you an MD.

Why? Because you aren't in school - you have graduated. Even if the hospital is university based, it's not school, college, university. It's a hospital.

Sure, we got M.D way back in our country.
Thanx for the education, BBB. nod
