Caribbean Med School (NIGHTMARE OR A SECOND CHANCE??)

[@WriteYourAcceptance]

How's that personal statement coming along?

[@jeatificar]

As for the skew, at least from my experience, osteopathic medical schools do a pretest as well. If you do not hit the mark you are not approved by the dean to officially sit for the actual STEP exam

[@WriteYourAcceptance]

Good detail. Thanks for sharing!

[@NO1xANIMExFAN]

lol which school would that be? i'm at a do school and there is no pretest and my friends at different DO schools don't have pretests either.

Thank you for your honesty

[@WriteYourAcceptance]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching. Are you considering med school in the Caribbean?

[@DrAdamHotchkiss]

Hey there! I found your channel through one of my subscribers asking me to collaborate with you in the comments of my recent video. I’m a second year resident and trying to do a series of informative videos with pre med/med students or professionals like yourself! Would love to do something with you if you’d be willing! Maybe zoom or something! Let me know :)

[@WriteYourAcceptance]

Looking forward to connecting!

I think it is a Second Chance.

If you know what to expect i would agree.

Ma'am I'm an Indian , if I want to get into competitive residency like ortho going to sgu will it be a good choice

[@WriteYourAcceptance]

That's a question for their residency statistics. You should look into how many / what percentage of their students 1. match (that are allowed to take the exams versus how many students are in the class) and 2. match in a specialty like ortho. My experience with former students have all matched in family medicine.

[@caringlovetv6998]

Hi, Can you do the Residency in U.S.A.? Thanks.

[@WriteYourAcceptance]

Hi yes but again with doing your due diligence. For example - Without certification from the ECFMG, students at Caribbean medical schools will not be able to pursue clinical rotations in the U.S., and graduates of Caribbean med schools cannot secure U.S. residencies and fellowships. For more here’s a great article from 1/2020 www.usnews.com/education/best-graduate-schools/top-medical-schools/articles/what-to-know-about-caribbean-medical-schools#:~:text=Without%20certification%20from%20the%20ECFMG,secure%20U.S.%20residencies%20and%20fellowships.

Do you know anything about Saba university and it’s pass rate ?

[@WriteYourAcceptance]

I’ve only had a couple students attend Saba and they were happy but here’s a site that has some info. I would compare a few though to corroborate info - m.valuemd.com/saba.php

Question! I hope you can answer. How do you think medical schools will accept hours for shadowing now that the pandemic is happening? In my area it’s almost impossible to get them now.

[@WriteYourAcceptance]

Tough call...short answer I haven’t heard directly. Long more complicated spec - . I have seen dental programs cut the hours expected but I haven’t seen much of that. Honestly I think a lot of the shadowing should have been done prior to mid March...so it would be a positive if they see you had been shadowing then it’s the pandemic that halted your activity versus last minute is when you were trying to get as many hours as possible and then you couldn’t. Typically 50-100 hours is really competitive. 25-50 hours can still play well this cycle especially when minimum hours are like 8.

its way way easier to get into Caribbean

[@WriteYourAcceptance]

@@lelabb4110 definitely a plus if you are focused on family medicine...but a potential draw back if you don't really get to consider all other specialties
