America continually produces the best doctors because of such training measures

74% of all Americans have a positive view of doctors.^[1] Most would regard doctorhood as a noble and reputed profession. Such positive reviews are earned by American doctors. Their 8 years of schooling combined with 4+ years of residency adequately prepares them for the long hours, stressful duties, and various medications and treatments they need to familiarize themselves with. While the title of "best doctor" is a subjective one, in the field of healthcare, one of the most comforting things to know is that one's doctor is reliable, caring, and committed. In America, the system is designed in such a way that only the most dedicated students are compelled to become doctors. In other countries where only 5 years of education are necessary, many enter the profession hoping to build their family name, status in society or even solely for the high salaries. But in America, with 11-16 years of schooling, many such candidates are dissuaded. This means most current doctors are in the field because they are passionate about it. This is clearly evident in many statistics regarding American doctors and hospitals. In America, 95% of all physicians were likely to continue as one for the rest of their life.^[2] Hospitals such as The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, and New York-Presbyterian Hospital are globally recognized as some of the best hospitals.^[3] The dedication of the staff and the excellent training of the doctors help them to achieve such recognition. The training system in America produces high-quality results.
