Hey all. I'm a recent college grad who wants to do psychiatry and I am thinking of applying to caribbean schools for several reasons. I'm 24 now and have been out of school for a year and didn't apply last year because I hadn't taken the MCATs. I'm taking it on April 23 and I have been scoring about high 20s low 30s on my MCATs. I have 2 questions.
If I apply by June this year to the big 4 caribbean schools, how likely is it for me to be able to start this fall? I am planning to apply to US MD/DO schools this year, but the process seems really tedious and would like to start as soon as possible.
I feel like I would most likely want to do something in the order of Psychiatry, Emergency, IM, FP. I know that it is much harder for Carib MDs to obtain good residency spots. How tough is it to get into an academic residency in these specialties from a caribbean school?
Thanks for your help.
