Easiest MD Caribbean schools

[midder]

I have a JD and Id like to get into medical malpractice law. So I would like to get an MD degree for depositions, etc. I would prefer a 3 year program in the Caribbean, skip advanced clinicals, nor take any step exams and still get a MD. I am not trying to match anywhere or get residency. I have already completed physics chemistry ochem etc at local community college when I was a ugrad. I would prefer the school be eligble for ECFMG.


Any info for this?

I'd be very surprised if any med school, and particularly Caribbean med schools, were interested in admitting an applicant who did not intend to practice medicine. I don't know of any 3 yr MD programs, and I doubt you could get a degree if you didn't complete advance clinicals.

I think you may suffer from a misunderstanding of Caribbean med schools. These are not degree mills. Most Caribbean med schools follow a US training model and graduates must meet the same requirements to graduate as for US medical graduates including passing rigourous USMLE Step 1 and 2 standardized national exams.

I'd suggest for the type of training you are seeking you look into LLM in health law. Lots of good LLM health law programs in the US including part time and online.

American International Medical University (AIMU)
Aureus University School of Medicine

Both dont require steps. I will contact them to see if I can skip advanced clinicals

Good luck with this. For what it's worth, the World Directory of Medical Schools lists AIMU as closed, and doesn't list Aureus at all. This means neither will be recognized in the US. Neither has ECFMG recognition based on this no matter what their websites may say. Aureus website says they offer 4 and 5 yr pathways, not 3 yr.

Finally, you said you wanted ECFMG recognition in a school but not to write steps. ECFMG requires steps 1 and 2: Certification
