From those with experience I will like to inquire if it is likely to obtain a PM&R residency from Saba.

I didn't know Saba even had a PM&R program.

Since the OP is a pre-med student, moving to Pre Allo forum.

As with all things: yes, its possible. However, training outside the country (Saba or anywhere else) will make obtaining a US residency (in any specialty) more difficult.

Since you are at least 4 years from needing the answer to that question, please understand that no one is going to be able to guarantee you anything.

If you go to school at Saba, you are accepting some risk.

Search "Charting Outcomes in the Match." The most recent year for which we have data is 2011. On page 213 you will notice that US Seniors had a success over failure rate of 178/19 for PMR. Independent applicants (pretty much everyone else) had a success over failure rate of 174/113. In the years since this publication I have observed that the odds of a successful PM&R application have become much more challenging for US Seniors and disproportionately more challenging for all others.

Yup, U.S. senior medical students have caught onto the lifestyle aspect of the specialty (often times not looking at other valid drawbacks of the specialty) and thus stampeded towards it.

We seen this too at my school. We used to send a fair number of grads into PM&R, but not so much lately. It's apparently become a hot field.
