CARIBBEAN FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL? MY EXPERIENCE AND ADVICE IF YOU WANT TO GO ABROAD! +USMLE STEP 1 SCORE

- Hey everyone! In todays video I discuss my experience going abroad to medical school in the Caribbean. It certainly wasn't an easy experience and this decision has to be taken very seriously. It costs a lot of money and time to move abroad to another country and then the process of completing medical school takes years and many exams! Its a huge personal commitment you have to make but at the end of it all it is very rewarding. Taking the USMLEs was very intimidating but you can get through it! Things are changing with these exams and I hope its for the better. The biggest hurdle for IMG's is matching into a US residency, here I discuss my journey, stay tuned for part 2 where i talk about strategies that helped me match into a family medicine residency!

So now are you practicing in Canada or US? After studying at this place what is the procedure to continue in Canada?
I like the word "Public Review" that is very important.
Great content!
hi what medical school did you go to
hello dear, could you please guide me how to find the accreditation of international university for New York or California please
Could you tell me about western Atlantic medical school as far as residency is concerns ? How do you know they’re credited and you can take residency in different states
How many years do you lived there.How much USMLE is difficult for medium student.
Can somebody tell me about the CAMC exam,please ? The Caribbean medical licensing exam?
Hi I have question regarding the residency application. Is it true that you will have difficulty getting the J1 Visa when applying for residency since we are Canadians . I have heard that Canadians will have to score 20 points to be considered for a residency placement interview . Thank you
hey! i havent heard that specific requirement, and no i dont find that it is difficult to get the J1 visa as a canadian, the canadian government has no limit on "statements of need" anymore either
@@alyciasainimd5101 thanks Alycia for the info .
Hii Alicia, sorry I have a question regarding Windsor University's Accreditation, I heard something about 2024 and how a lot of universities will lose their accreditation. I wanted to ask if Windsor is one of them? Or if they're accredited enough to stand
Hi I know it’s a year later but did you find any info on this?? About Windsor university
Did you still have to take the mcat?
Hi mam is it all American institution of medical sciences jamaica is an accredited med school
Why do you think about American university of saint vincent
Hey Alicia, I am an international student from India came to Canada and did dental hygiene now I am doing university of Winnipeg my bachelors, and was thinking of going to Central American for schooling for medicine. Just wanted to know what would you recommend. I am new to this Canada and just got my PR. Wanted to know your opinion on it. Thank you.
Hi bro I am going to study bds this yr if we complete bds in India is there a chance to get a job in Canada
Hey same here what’s your plan ?
Some Canadian students apply to US medical school because Canada does not have many Med school and most are state owned. US has more private med school than State owned and majority of private owned are good med school.
Hi. Anyone know about Richmond Gabriel University, St Vincent?
Hi Alycia! Great content you got there. Please what medical school did you go to? Have you heard about St. James School of Medicine and would you recommend one goes there ?
Hi thank you! I went to Windsor University school of medicine, and yes St James is a great school, i have many friends who have gone there and they have great match rates among their students
@@alyciasainimd5101 mam is Trinity medical school is good?
hi , can i use ECFMG certificate for the caribeeans?
may I know which med school is this in Caribbean
If I decided to go to medical school in the Caribbean, can I still practice as a physician in another country that’s not the Caribbean like the U.S?
Yes you are set up to take the USMLE's which are for the US only. You are not set up to take the exams for canada or the UK/Australia etc
Is All Saint University in Dominica a great school. How well do there graduates match into residency
you should look at their website and see their match stats, and talk to people who have recently graduated from there
Mam Please Say What About Bay University In Aruba Island
Will there not be any issues after our residency if the collage is not accredited???
Nope! you will be able to apply for licensure without any issues :) Mine is almost complete!
I heard that there will be issues from 2024 onwards
You're brilliant and amazing as well!
Em, pls how many years does it take to finish medicine in carribean
you spend 1.5-2 years on the island then the other 2 years doing clinical rotations in the USA- you should finish medical school in 4 years
great video!!!!
Hey can I do residency in Australia?
Thanks
Hi, what university did you attend?
Have you heard of AUA? They have affiliations with Canada the UK and India as well as the U.S.A
hey yes i have heard of AUA, it is a good school!
Thank you very much for your video, I found it very helpful. I just wanted to ask which Caribbean medical schools are accredited in all US states including California and New York? Would really appreciate your input! Also I am a UK student so would i still do clinical rotations in the US in years 3 and 4? Thank you in advance
St George. University is the only one I know which is actually good and can help u get into usa
U have to do a 5 year premed course and Residency is idk I’m also learning and trying to apply haha
@@dreamvfx1508 thank you for your reply ..best wishes
@@dreamvfx1508 Bay University In Aruba??
I think St. George's has a program where you can do rotations and also practice in the UK if that's what you want..good luck!
is MCAT required for admissions? Could you make a video on how you got accepted into medical school?
I don't think medical schools in the Caribbean require MCAT at least they don't for Caribbean students but it may depend on what uni you're applying to
@@makeedawint552is studying in the Caribbean better suited than studying overseas? I'm currently in my last year and I want to be able to make the right decision, I'm from jamaica by the way

I am a high school student in the USA. What subjects should I take in high school to go to Carribean med school?
you should definitely stick with sciences, physics, english, math including calculus and then electives can vary, you want to make sure you get good grades in all your classes so pick something you find interesting and enjoy!
@@alyciasainimd5101 Pls anyone give some information about All American institute of medical school in Jamaica
@@kuberanmurugaiyan4096 It's not well-known in Jamaica, most students go to UWI for medicine
Just make sure you take both Bio courses, all four Chem courses, BioChem, both Physics, and whatever math courses are required for your major. Try to take those courses before the end of your Junior years because that’s when you began to apply to medical school. (I’m a Junior Psychologist (B.S) student in the US. I’ll be apply to Medical school a little later because my school didn’t prepare me. I’ll most likely attend a special masters program that’ll last one to two years before going to medical school.) good luck❤️reply to my message if you have any questions.
Hello, I see that you went to Windsor University (St. kitts). Would you recommend it?
They recently got CAAM accredited, so that has to be a big advantage right?
Thank you
Pls anyone give some information about All American institute of medical school in Jamaica

How many years does it take to go to this school? I am in u.s and in my 30's

Greetings alicia,i am considering to apply for bay university which is in aruba..it just seems too good to be true and i have a gut feeling i won't be able to clear usmle ii and iii if i study there
Also have a doubt on whether it is accredited by who/mci or not
Would love to hear your response
Thanks!
I also have doubts about this...
If u get any information can u also share it
@@candyrona7762 hello mate,I would suggest not to go there because it isn't in the world directory of medical schools
I did a bit of research and found at med schools in Caribbean are pretty much bad except for two of them and even then they don't crack usmle that much
So it's better to go to another country with cheaper costs than spend a lot of money in the Caribbean..if you can afford to pay 300k dollars of loan you could go the US mainland but it's risky since you have to crack usmle anyhow to payback loans
The world directory of medical schools is a list of approved accredited hospitals,if it's in the list it has approval for usmle(the ecfmg accreditation)
What do u think about WUHS ?
you should look at their website and see their match stats, and talk to people who have recently graduated from there
what school did you go to
hey! i went to Windsor university school of medicine
If your parents have money and you can't get into schools in the USA or Canada go to the Caribbean.
your accents so sharply american lol, cool stuff
My daughter moving to sgu,,your opinoin
SUG is an excellent school, she will have to study hard and she will do great!!
I regret doing MBBS in India. Worst medical college and worst decision of my life. Should have done med school in my home country in the U.S.
Going to DO program in the US is better than going to Caribbean. Caribbean is your last choice. I have two kids are in DO program in the US now. They graduated from US college for their undergraduate and took their MCAT test. 90% of DO school in Pennsylvania is white students.
