I graduated from St.George's in 1985, the 9th graduating class. There were 2 graduations per year and the curriculum was 9 semesters. When I started no one had yet graduated and no one knew if the US would let us into residency programs or let us get licenses. My total indebtedness at graduation was $55K. I clerked in Brooklyn, did Internship in Brooklyn and did residency in Connecticut. I guess tuition went up considerably since then.

I know I'm like 2 yrs late on this video. One thing that needs to be noted is that in US schools, there are only so many slots and you have over 2k applicants competing for 50 to 60 slots. By definition that makes said program competitive. However, you can have 3 applicants with a 3.8 GPA same stats, with very subtle differences, competing for 1 slot. Are those 2 other applicants less than or not as smart!!! But those 2 other applicants apply for a Caribbean school and get in and the narrative is that they couldn't cut it in a US school.. the truth is, we don't have enough slots for every single applicant and sometimes regardless of a stellar application, if someone else is slightly better on paper because they did research or had a better MCAT SCORE.. you won't get in. So what is that applicant to do??

Doctor Martin I am an Indian medical aspirant and I want to come to carribean medical schools for my Medical studies. There is one particular caribbean medical school, Spartan health & Science university in st. Lucia which is getting crazy promoted in my country by a lot of admission agents. I heard many of their grads are actually doing good and working as a physician in many states of the US. Is this university legitimately good for my prospects of my future as a doctor in US? I am confused and sceptic that I might be fooled by these admission agents, so I might ask it from an actual graduate who went to the caribbean. Will appreciate your help and response 🙂

LiveLife 101 well, I obviously don’t know much about SGU, but my friend just finished medical sciences there and he didn’t have anything overtly negative to say. As far as Ross, medical school is tough in general but what makes our curriculum especially tough is the pace we cover content. We finish medical sciences (if you don’t repeat a semester) in about half the time that US schools do. So you really can’t be lazy you have to be disciplined and don’t get behind, but it’s definitely doable. Moving to a new country is going to be tough regardless, but once you get the hang of it it’s not so bad. And Barbados is a lot more developed than other Caribbean islands.

I'm actually impressed with most Caribbean graduates I've worked with as they seem to have much less support than I did at a US DO school. They struck me as being more independent and able to achieve without much guidance. My issue with that though is that Caribbean schools are well aware of the attrition rate and huge loan burden they're causing folks and simply do not care. That rubs me the wrong way. Once accepted, every student should be supported. I wouldn't have made it if I wasn't.

487 is a very low MCAT score and regardless of your GPA, you will never get an invite for an interview even in the lowest tier medical school. I'm surprised that you did not realize how important MCAT is for admission or maybe that is just a lame excuse for your bad score. It pays to get a 4.0 GPA and an excellent MCAT score because that will pave the way to get into a 1st tier medical school then get an excellent GPA in med school which almost always translate to an excellent USMLE score and then you have all the convenience of selecting from the best residency program of your choice. But it is great to share your experience and inspite of, you are now in a residency program and soon will be a hospitalist.

Your match rate is incorrect, and a match is still a match even if it's not among your top choices.

Most Carib students (I'm not Carib but I know a few) don't have the luxury of not working while they study for the MCAT, so that's more complicated than it seems.

Hey love your videos. Been viewing them for quite some time now. Great work. Keep it up. I have a question. Can a person who went to a caribbean med school migrate to the US to work. Then try to attain a residency there. Can if you can explain

Caribbean medical schools offer MD programs. Not sure why he always referred to it as MD vs Caribbean. It's the same program just that one is of lesser quality and will need the medical students to work harder to acquire knowledge and experience that US med schools normally provide their students. If you're self-motivated you can do just fine with a Caribbean med schoool. It's MD too!

We generally talk about 3 forms of training: US allopathic (MD), US osteopathic (DO), and Caribbean, which are also MD, but are a separate category from US MD schools. The shorthand is MD, DO, and Caribbean.

I just got accepted into a carribean med school, and im on the waitlist to US med schools. its so frustrating to make a decision because US med schools have taken 7 months in the application process and im still waiting on the waitlist, while the Caribbean school, i applied a couple weeks ago and got accepted today. I kinda wanna just choose Caribbean and finally let go of this burden of waiting and feeling inadequate.

Since the boards are pass fail now it’s going to be even more difficult for Caribbean med students to stand out for residencies. Just think hard about it, do your research, and really weigh your pros and cons.

From someone with age on the other side of the spectrum, I am not applying to any schools in the US because I have a degree in Biology/Pre-Med. I have spent the last 15 years in the industry on the discovery side, physician side, clinical side, and some other aspects. The US will not acknowledge my degree because it is more than 5 years old. I got a degree from a fantastic 4 year university with a fantastic Medical school affiliated with it. The US wants me to take it all over again. I feel there is no need to do that. I have been taking some classes to refresh and helped with the MCAT, that I have taken. I do not feel like spending the money and the time to do all those courses again. Caribbean/European medical school is the best route for myself that I will be starting in 2020. I am following my dreams and they are allowing me not to have to spend more years to do so. Thank you for this video.

Hey, as someone in his third year at one of the "big 4" carribean med schools, let me tell you-- you will do great as long as you're driven. Don't worry what people say about age either! I've met some great students who were a bit older. You got this! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Good luck :)

The life experiences, the places I have traveled and all that I have seen as part of my career and whom I have met, has prepared me for this. The 2 classes I am taking now, I have never enjoyed school so much because I WANT to be there and I want to succeed more than anything in my life. I am so excited to start this next chapter and I am so extremely grateful for your support and kind words. Thank you for reaching out.

@bbehgam

This is absolutely the exception and not the rule. Plastics is THE most competitive specialty, more so than derm. Being a Caribbean grad already puts you at a disadvantage. Afterwords, you would not only need research (which is hard to do on an island and to publish), you would need > 260 on steps 1/2, which is typically the top 1% score. So, I think people have to be realistic with themselves, and realize it VERY likely won’t happen as a grad. If you struggled to get into US school, the chances of you obtaining that kind of score twice AND publishing research will be incredibly difficult. You could backdoor through general surgery but that is about 8-9 years total for fellowship and still incredibly competitive.

Carribean vs MD????? St. George's IS an MD school! Except for the Univ of Illinois there are more practicing physicians in the US who graduated from St. George's that from any other med school. And, for the past few years more first year residency slots were filled by St. George's graduates than any other med school.

@@kevinjubbalmd that’s a bit misleading, and that is not “standard shorthand” either. Caribbean medical schools that are authorized to grant the MD degrees that are recognized in the US (such as SGU) have passed and are authorized by all US medical governmental regulations to be full fledged MD degree granting institutions. No difference. Only way to specify is US MD vs Caribbean MD etc.

I’m only a DO orthopaedics resident so my experiences aren’t that extensive, but some patients do know what a DO is, some do not, but most people don’t really ask the medical degree, they just care if you’re a good doctor or not. I haven’t personally felt any bias? The main bias I felt was as a female and URM going into a competitive specialty that is typically less than 6% white or with URM’s. If you work hard and do well on rotations and get good clinical grades or good LOR’s, you could shine anywhere. There are ortho residencies that are 95-99% DO or 95-99% MD, but I happened to match into the latter.

Great video as always! Thank you sooo much for being so honest and straightforward. You are right in saying the truth is more important than emotions, and this channel along with MSI has been such an important resource for me as I continue to look into med schools in the United States. I just wanted to add that the thumbnail to this video is a bit off-putting as it paints a rather “white saviour” picture of your interviewee. He seems like a very wholesome person though, so it may just be me. Seeing as a thumbnail does give a potential viewer a first impression of a video (in good, honest cases. Click bait thumbnails are so utterly ridiculous), I wanted to bring this to your attention. Again, thank you sooo much for all your hard work and honesty!! You are making a powerful impact. Thank you for your indirect guidance on my pre-med journey.
