MSK9's Medical School Thread & Guide

[MSK9]

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.

That's semantically accurate; many people use the terms interchangeably, myself included. I think there is less of a "ceiling" on what specialties an IMG is able to match into these days.. certainly more than ever before with many "IMG-friendly" programs being available. I just found an IMG Orthopedics program a couple days ago. I'm not looking to go into something like neurosurgery or radiation oncology, though while difficult, it's certainly not impossible to do. The current Chief Resident of Neurosurgery at Ole Miss is a St. George's grad. /shrug
