Are there other benefits to Caribbean medical schools?

A: Yes, most definitely.

1. Perhaps the greatest benefit these schools offer is that otherwise qualified students, who show the dedication and determination to successfully complete the rigors of a superior medical education, get the chance to attend medical school and become physicians. U.S. medical schools, with their limited number of available positions, actually prevent many capable candidates from attending.
2. Studying in a foreign country affords students the advantage of exploring a different cultural environment, guaranteeing them a diverse educational experience and the opportunity to become well-rounded professionals.
3. The cost of a Caribbean medical education is a fraction of the cost of U.S. medical schools. The primary purpose is teaching, including providing research opportunities for students; thus tuition can be held to a reasonable level, as opposed to U.S. medical schools where tuition underwrites a significant overhead expense that does not necessarily benefit the student.
