Sammanfattning

Medical education in the USA is demanding and fosters a culture of personal responsibility. Positions in medical school and residency programs are awarded on a meritocratic basis and academic medicine is highly competitive and prestigious. The author completed medical school and residency in the USA and provides an overview of the different educational steps and the daily routine for students and residents. Cultural conditions are very different in Sweden and the USA but the author believes that Sweden would benefit from adapting from the USA the strong emphasis on educating and evaluating students and residents and the culture of personal responsibility.
