Hierarchy:
Caribbean and other international medical students also encounter significant bias. International students are often viewed as students who were rejected from US medical schools. They have a much more difficult time arranging clinical rotations in the US, and they may have to move all over the country in order to complete the required rotations (US students have a guaranteed slot in a hospital close to their medical campus). IMGs encounter a much more difficult time matching into a residency program, as program directors generally favor US graduates over international graduates. Again, it is unreasonable to think international students are less capable than US grads. In fact, IMGs may be better doctors because they had to work even harder to accomplish their goals.

And that's the internets take on it.
I left out most of the bad stuff. I personally would never attend one of these schools though.

Million dollar mistake (possibly):

I drink a lot of FIJI, DASANI, SMARTWATER, etc.

I love bottled water.............. I would probably die in the Caribbean.

Also, ZDoggMD is hilarious.

It's starting to sound like an echo chamber in here.

Medical school is not a decision that should be entered into lightly. Caribbean schools? Even more so. Not all Caribbean schools are created equal.

Even the best caribbean schools don't have Fiji water. You might be lucky to get Dasani... but that is not the same.
But no I saw the first video by ZDoggMD and made this thread.... solely for the purpose of putting that first video up.
