Med School

Anyone else there in Med School that wants to share one’s thoughts about it with us???
I’m in the 5th year , almost graduating. So far it’s being very mind-opening, but u don’t have any free time , and it’s impossible to work b4 graduating to support the costs…
I think i’ll be an Anesthesiologist. :blush::hula:

Re: Med School

Re: Med School

How hard is it for Carribean medical school graduates to get residency spots in the States?

Re: Med School

it basically depend on which school u r attending…there r right now 5 school in carribean reliable to gaurantee to u for spots for residencies in States.

Re: Med School

Guaranteed spots? Are you sure about that? The situation in Canada for Carribean schools is horrible, not that I’m planning to go to these schools or anything.

Re: Med School

In Canada the situation is different, b/c most of the schools are affiliated with the hospitals in States so even students from Canada end up practicing in States. Just b/c of tht schools don't really go for the approval or even considering the affiliation process with hospitals in Canada.

As i said, carribean schools are not bad at, some people think its just a way for money making but trust me it is REALLY ez to get in the carribean med school but the toughest to go through the whole med school yr.

There r really 5 top schools right now in carribean that are approved by states for residencies and yes with the gaunrantee spots!
