A controversial deal with a Caribbean medical school raises eyebrows:

Critics worry that the hospital corporation, whose mission is to serve the city’s poor, is conferring prestige on a foreign school whose curriculum, they say, is more vocational than research-based and often caters to affluent students who could not get into schools in the United States.

Although the difference in education quality is debatable, the greater concern is that residency spots may be taken away from NYC students.

Can’t say I blame the public hospitals though, as many of them are financially struggling. $100 million speaks louder than the needs of local medical students.
