A relationship was found between graduating from a US versus a non-US medical school in respect of the answers to three questions. Of those graduating from US medical schools, 74% agreed that an informed patient is a better patient, compared to 96% of those from non-US schools (p = .04). Only 22% of US school graduates said their strategy about informing patients is probably or certainly likely to change, compared to 52% of non-US school graduates (p = .02).
