St. George's University School of Medicine (MD):
Interview Invitation
Nice reading about your journey! I am a physician recruiter and have been for 9 years.
Being a DO is great! For most states, you get your licensed after PGY-1 (1st year of residency) and this will allow you to moonlight sooner than your MD counterparts. Can save you a lot of money in the long-term.
I would strongly urge you against the Carribean schools. Not because they are not comparable, but because it can be a lot harder to get into residency than an AMG (American) school. I know plenty of physicians that were not able to get a residency spot and have not practiced.
Remember, when you go an IMG (International) graduate, you compete against graduates from all around the world and it becomes much harder.
DO is the way to go.
Here are some schools to consider:
DO:
Touro University California
Touro University Nevada
California Health Sciences University
Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine
Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine
Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine
MD:
Kaiser Medical School in Pasadena (TUITION FREE)
California Northstate University
