“The world we're heading into is provider agnostic,” he adds. “It doesn't matter if I learned what I learned at Harvard. It doesn't matter if I learned what I learned at Coursera. It doesn't matter if I learned it on Wikipedia. It doesn't matter if I dreamed it last night. What we're talking about is: Have you achieved the outcome?”
I didn’t go to medical school, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night…and I watched some YouTube videos about heart surgery. They have good Wifi there!

I think that more employers and schools should be more open to a variety of learning paths. But being completely provider agnostic is silly.

Perhaps it's a bit of a provocative opinion, but I would say that there are many ways to achieve minimal standards but there are fewer ways to achieve the highest standards. I don't think there's anything wrong with meeting minimal standards. That's an entry level job and then people will move forward in their careers as they are able (or perhaps, as they are allowed). Generally, in the healthcare field your degree source is less important than your license to practice. But if you want to work at Mass General Hospital it's going to be a lot easier if you went to Harvard Medical School. In the field of law, you might have a JD from an Ivy League school but if you can't pass the bar then your degree is worth far less. So this idea of provider agnosticism (did you invent that term?) has some merit and it seems clear that it's a trend that's going to continue.
@Alpha The source of the term "provider agnosticism" was acknowledged as Arthur Levine, the expert referred to in the article.
In some cases / fields, I think "provider ATHEISM" might be warranted - a list of schools NOBODY should believe in.

Here's an update on Coursera. They're worth 7 billion dollars now. Somehow that's more than I thought.
