Clinicals in US after caribbean

I am considering caribbean medical schools, and was reading about affiliate hospitals. Can you pretty much do clinicals at any of the hospitals or is that a battle yet again? The main reason is I want to do clinical rotations close to family members. I noticed on SABA's website they had an affiliate with a St. Louis hospital, and that is where I want to do rotations at because I know physicians there and family is there. The hosptial is very close to my house. At ROSS and SGU I didn't notice any affiliations with St. Louis, this is making me consider SABA. Unless of course there are hospitals that arn't listed on ROSS and SGU's websites. I feel that if I got in the St. Louis thing also, I would be able to make more contacts and have a better shot at residency by getting to know more physicians in my area. Please help me out, and tell me if I have bad or good rationale for this issue.

even if u go to sgu or ross

u can always do rotations at non affiliated hospitals

you have to do like 90 weeks of rotations

the vast majority of students do at least SOME WEEKS OF ROTATIONS at non affilitates. its quite common
