Hi all
I was just wondering what all of you MDs think of Caribean Grads. I mean I'm possibly thinking of doing that instead of waiting a year and doing the whole Masters or year off thing. I think its all (or a majority) is all politics as far as getting into American Med schools. I mean I'm Indian but I've been brought up and was born here. I know a lot of people do the carib thing. People say there is a stigma but does that really matter, i mean isnt it the quality of the physician? Also JUST wondering. Does it matter later on where you graduated from when it comes to getting paid...I know it probably doesnt but just making sure. Also is becoming a general surgeon or cardiologist feasible for a carib grad?
Thanks alot in advance for answers.
p.s. ALL u carib grads could you share wiht me ur stories?? thanks. Also for carib grads is it easy to get residencies in CHicago??
