a few years ago, i had some info on a med school (i think it was caribbean?!) where you could do your first two years via computer study modules at home that would be overseen by a local md preceptor. the last two years would be at an affiliated hospital. i got wrapped up in pursuing another school and lost the info on the other. anybody else know the program i'm talking about!?:xf:
 
Whatever program you're talking about (two years of distance learning modules) is a program you need to stay far, far away from. I'm not a fan of words like "always" or "never" in these advice threads, but if you go that route, to a non-Big 4 Carib program that uses distance modules and then plugs you into an "affiliated" hospital, you will never practice medicine in the US. Please gather more information here and in a few of the other forums and carefully consider your chances to match competitively. I'll leave it to someone in the know to name said program.
