Caribbean med school as an international student-what nobody tells you before you go

The student body where I study is incredibly diverse — Nigerian, Indian, Ghanaian, American, Canadian students all in one place navigating the same journey toward a US MD.

For international students especially, there are things nobody prepares you for — the cost, the lifestyle adjustment, the USMLE timeline, what clinical rotations in the US actually look like for IMGs.

Been in Caribbean med school for a while now, happy to answer what Google won't tell you

Not here to sell anything or rep any school. Just a current med student who took the Caribbean route when the traditional path didn't work out the way I planned.

I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly of this journey. If you're on the fence, already applied, or just curious whether this path leads somewhere, drop your questions below or DM me.

I also host a small free Zoom session every few weeks for people seriously considering this route. No admissions reps, no agenda, just real conversation. DM if you want in on the next one.
