So I decided I want to be an MD. Okay... great. Now what? I've already completed 1 year of undergrad work towards my BS Chemistry which leaves me 3 more years at undergrad then 4 years of Med School (7 total)... OR... I can start my MBBS at UWI right away - 5 years and I'm done. So, my question is this: what are the virtues of doing the MD vs the MBBS? Is there a stigma attached to grads with an MBBS? Does anyone know if IMGs who are US citizens are treated differently than MD grads?
I've got to tell you, I find the prospect of graduating 2 years earlier than planned to be quite attractive. Also, I am an adult learner - over 30 years old, so that 2 years means a whole lot to me in terms of earned income.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
