Caribbean Med Student... But We Still Made It

[@joshschaeffer6062]

As a current IMG student it has been extremely helpful to have an honest and realistic perspective of the IMG experience. Everyone seems to either pretend there aren't flaws with Caribbean schools, or say its the worst decision you can ever make. Your videos are very much appreciated!

[@Fooeyify]

You're the reason I went to sgu. Taking step in a few weeks thanks for the helpful tips and all the motivation! Congrats bro!

[@DrNauseous]

SGU! 😄👍

[@SeanDarmal]

Ohhh hell yes. That’s crazy. I hope everything has been going well so far. Good luck bro. Stay strong.

[@juliansolotorres]

Same here! Let’s get it!

[@siddharthprasad1938]

hey man do you have instagram where i can contact you and ask about your experience at SGU. I am currently deciding between RCSI bahrain and SGU.

[@lilliambarrios9268]

Caribbean medical schools, especially accredited ones, are needed more now than ever, 1200 primary care residency positions not filled after 2021 match !!! Proud of you Sean, keep showing what hard work and persistence can accomplish no matter where you come from.

[@roseennin1149]

We made it!! Thank God we made it! I know what that feeling is like going through med school on a Caribbean island, wondering to myself if this long journey would see the expected end. To all those who are on or about to start, I encourage you as Dr. Darmal said, " take it one day at a time". Praying the very best for everyone, may your efforts not be in vain! Thank you again, Dr.Darmal, for your encouraging videos

[@SeanDarmal]

Wow well put. ❤️. Thanks for watch the video and thanks for this comment!

[@steventhompson5968]

Thanks for the video....I started SGU in 1979..not the charter class but close. I matched in PATHOLOGY..my first choice. Now I am what you wish to be..a retired physician ❤

[@JayB-qt4xm]

Being a current MS1 at AUC. This is so motivating Doc. Thanks for that!

[@danashamal3116]

Sean. I love you. What a beautiful message... Really...so beautiful just like you... inside...out. I so appreciate the genuineness in your videos. Medicine needs caring people ...exactly like you to become doctors.

No regrets about psychiatry? Idk. Idk if I’d be happy if I didn’t match into what I wanted. Everything feels so up in the air. I have no idea what to expect. I guess watching your videos do help. It’s nice to see successful people from Caribbean med schools. It’s like, if you can do it, so can I (I hope 😭)

I am considering attending sgu but I’ve heard that they are going to lose accreditation rendering the education somewhat useless. Thoughts?

[@SeanDarmal]

Hey. Yeah I have heard the same thing for years now. But it always seems like just a rumor. You should call one of the sgu admission representatives and ask about it

[@hassanhaidar204]

Can you match to Stanford or UCSF for residency from the Caribbean?

[@SeanDarmal]

I’m not sure. I don’t know anyone who has before. But you can google sgu match list 2023 and see how many got into those specific programs

[@hassanhaidar204]

@@SeanDarmal Thank you so much for your response.

[@Swaglex9689]

Did you do any research prior to residency?

[@SeanDarmal]

No I didn’t. :/
