does someone know the schools in teh caribbean that are considered "legit"- that is where a large percentage get licensed and accepted into US residency programs? because i have been told by many that alot of caribbean med schools are very poor.
That's certainly what SGU claims. It is not a US organization, however, and almost certainly is not eligible for any lawsuits claiming false advertising.
They point out that 76% of their graduates go into primary care. They claim that this is representative of US trends as a whole, which would very much surprise me.
76% would have been much more representative about 8-12 years ago when there was the huge push for students to go primary care. We're definitely seeing the cycle heading towards the opposite end of the spectrum (for a number of different reasons), particularly at private medical schools I'm sure.
if you can avoid it, i'm sure its a better idea not to attend a carribean med school, however, if you have no other choice, I hear that Ross is probably the best amongst all of them.
Worse. You will be counted as a FMG if you go to the Carib. I don't understand why people chose the more difficult route just so they can have the letters MD after their name instead of DO.
