So what happens...

So what happens to all those US citizen SGU (also the other top Caribbean) students that don't match? Are they allowed to work in research jobs? and what sort of non-medical jobs can they enter.

Would appreciate any advice. 🙂

Well, either it implies they join a rockapella group from sweden, or they go practice in Africa. either way, not what they wanted

I would take Option A

I'm wondering if the OP is one of them. Maybe then we'd provide some serious advice? haha

I'm pretty curious about real answers to this question too. There must be a lot of US citizen carribean graduates who can't get a US residency, does anyone know what they do? I have never seen this addressed on any thread, you only hear about those who make it as US physicians.

They apply over and over again until hopefully they get something...take a look at SGU's match list and how many PGY-3,4,5,6,7 and 8s there are.

The strange thing is the PGY 7 & 8 there's a duke and yale match in there, pgy 6 there's ucsd, ucsf, john hopkins. Correct me if I'm wrong but those seem nothing to sneeze at? Not that being that many years out of school is ideal, but I'm curious how they managed to match since I thought the farther out you were from school, the harder it was to match. The only thing I can think of is they did other degrees (PhD), clinical research/etc.

But yes that list seems a little scary...

They are also matching into IM subspecialities.

That's true but there's also people matching into peds, general surgery, FM and IM throughout almost all the later years too. Matching into an IM specialty at PGY-8 isn't exactly ideal either...
