I have not taken my premed courses but I do have my undergrad business degree. I wonder if there is an accelerated course where one can take premed and then medical school in an accelerated manner.

I have a US and European Passport (from poland). I would like to eventually do my residency here in the US. I heard schools in the carribeans may have this type of accelerated programs.

Yes. They're called postbac programs (as opposed to what are commonly known as SMPs) and they're half the subject of this forum. Click on a thread and there's roughly a 1 in 2 chance it will be of some interest to you in this regard. If by 'accelerated' you mean linkage, then several programs will fit this need, as well. If by 'accelerated' you mean the requirements for med school are abridged, no program like this exists in the United States.

When you say you have a US passport from Poland, do you mean you are a Polish citizen with some variation of a US visa? If you're a non-US citizen, getting into a US medical school is almost impossibly difficult, as I understand, and as such I would see no reason to do a postbac here in the States.

I think you may be right about the Caribbean. I've heard some of the schools offer the premed classes before you start at their medical school, but I'm not an expert on that region.

I have dual citizenship. I was born in the US. I heard Europe has some weird stuff going on with medical school.

I'm looking for either accelerated or linkage.

do some research. start from this forum. There are tons of programs out there. Infact if you go to AAMC's website and look for the post bac programs they have listed you will find tons of options for what you're talking about. check it out
