Hello,
I have attended both undergraduate education in Canada and USA and there seems to be always a stigma that getting a MD from a caribbean med school is bad, lowly, and will negatively affect your future residency placement.
However, when I went to Ross University website, it claims to have the highest rate of matching than any other medical schools in the world, including USA. http://www.rossu.edu/medical-school/graduates.cfm
Another university, St.George, even claim that 99% of its graduates gets matched!
So, why isn't Ross university everybody's dream school? It is not as expensive and almost guarantees you becoming a physician in USA. Also, it is only 2 years and in a dream location.
What's with all the stigma attached????
