MSK9's Medical School Thread & Guide

[Yanji]

Congratulations, MSK9! St. George's is considered one of the better Caribbean med schools. And yes, many of their graduates do end up practicing medicine in the United States (and many other countries).

Thank you. Based on stats, St. George's has the best matching outcomes of all Caribbean schools. I've seen that many SDN users, at least when deriving their own statistical conclusions, don't account for the fact that many SGU matriculants/graduates are from outside the United States and either return to their home country or have intentions of practicing in Europe/elsewhere. United States IMGs have a statistically easier time in matching than non-US IMGs though, so the match isn't something I'm worried about. I'm definitely not looking for work/networking in academics, though I'm not opposed to it either. 

Technically, non-US citizens/permanent residents would be FMGs, not IMGs, but yeah.
Caribbean med schools get a lot of flak, but most of the negatives are around their recruitment/admissions policies which lead to high attrition rates. As far as quality of education, the big ones are all good. You just have to be realistic in the kinds of specialties you want to match to back home.
