I was wondering how many years are typically spent in the Carbbean at any of the big three?
From what I understand AUC is 20 months and Ross 14 months (not sure about SGU) but I'm wondering if this amount of time meets ECFMG requirement for medical science credits or if one needs to supplement these curricula with further studies in the States?
Thanks in advance for all info.

Ross is actually about 16 calendar months, when you add-up the time coming and going, etc., etc. The pre-clinical curriculum is two academic years (i.e., four semesters) and meets ECFMG requirements, as well as requirements of all state licensure boards (which is really more important in the grand scheme of things). You must still complete four academic years of medical school, and your clerkships will all be conducted in the U.S. in order to meet these goals.
