Should You Go to a Caribbean Medical School? #SHORTS

Videos
Is a Caribbean medical school right for you? Here’s what to consider. The biggest benefit of Caribbean medical schools is that they are substantially easier to get into than U.S. MD or DO schools. As such, they are often described as “second-chance medical schools.”

Caribbean medical schools also use a rolling admissions process meaning that you can apply throughout the year and matriculate shortly thereafter.

You’ll also enjoy a warm tropical climate year-round without having to worry about commuting in the snow.

That said, it is significantly harder to match into a U.S. residency program as a Caribbean medical school graduate. You may have fewer options in terms of what specialties you can match into–if you’re able to match at all.

The culture of Caribbean medical schools is also much more cutthroat and less supportive. This is evident in their high attrition rates relative to U.S. MD or DO schools.

The accreditation system for Caribbean schools is also less standardized and robust, meaning that the quality of education can vary significantly between schools.

Given these reasons, we recommend strengthening your application and applying to stateside allopathic or osteopathic medical schools at least a few times and only using Caribbean schools as your final option.
