^^ Example:
MUA's premed
First Semester
MED 011 Principles of General Chemistry
MED 012 Medical Terminology
MED 013 Human Anatomy & Physiology I
Second Semester
MED 021 Advanced Organic Chemistry
MED 022 Introduction to Cell Biology
MED 023 Human Anatomy & Physiology II
Completion of the Pre-medical program provides a smooth transition into the Doctor of Medicine Basic Science program.
What about physics etc? Is this not required for entrance to their MD school if I complete the above program?
Okay, the good news is that you're only 25 and you have plenty of time to get yourself together to become a good applicant. The bad news is that you're going to have to explain away that undergrad performance. I think given your medical history you shouldn't have much trouble doing that. Going the USDO route would be best for you in terms of future residency placement. The Caribbean is a risky proposition right now because nobody really knows how the so-called "residency crunch" is going to affect us. If you can go USDO, your life will be easier in the long run. The science pre-reqs for medical school are pretty standardized. I would not suggest doing a Caribbean pre-med program, because they are usually expensive. Better I would think to enroll as a part-time student at a cheap university in the US, burn through your pre-reqs in a year, take the MCAT, and then see where you stand. DO schools are more willing to overlook a lower GPA, especially if you can prove with your pre-reqs that you've gotten your act together. Also, start making connections with doctors and ask to shadow them. If you are close to any of the docs that did your surgery, that would be a good place to start. You will need some letters of recommendation and shadowing experience is just plain smart to do before you commit to medicine. So to sum up:
1. Don't worry about Caribbean vs USDO for now.
2. Get a schedule together at a US school to get your pre-reqs done ASAP. A pre-med scheduling advisor should be able to help you do that.
3. Absolutely rock your classes.
4. Absolutely rock the MCAT.
5. Shadow physicians and maybe add some ECs to your application.
Good luck. If you do decide to go to the Caribbean, look at the Big 4 schools (SGU, Ross, SABA, AUC). They are accredited in all 50 states and accept US loans. They also have much higher placement rates than most Caribbean schools.
