Hello all,
I just got dismissed from a US medical school. I passed the Step 1 above average and got above average on ALL of my shelf exams. In fact, some of them were in the 90% percentile range. No professional issues whatsoever; I was always on time and worked more than asked. All the evals said that. I just got some unsatisfactory clinical evals and I am not sure those were justified. Some evaluators wrote things like, I don't communicate well with other attendings or residents, awkward to watch, or too quite and introvert for medicine. At the end, the school thought I was unfit for clinical medicine. Anyway, I am still unhappy how these comments alone were enough for my dismissal, and I am doing what I can to get re-instated.
Meanwhile, I am looking into different Carribean schools that I can transfer to. I would like to start off as a third year student doing the clinicals again. Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated
