"my first time in this HOUSE, Somalian-house"
« on: November 07, 2008, 04:22:31 PM »
as/c...all,
this is my first in Somalidoc, thus I decided to join imediately, "no fear"!  ;D.

I'm 2nd year medical student in the Caribbean.  Yes, I say, in Caribbean b/c I couldn't make the cut in the US.  So if anyone has/have question (s) about the Caribbean medical schools pleaseeeeeeee let me know.. (I almost know more in Caribbean then I know my home country, Somalia).

So far there are about 20 Somali medical students going 5 different medical schools.. I think about 9-11 somali medical students/doctors are either graduated, residency, or in clinical.

How Caribbean medicals work?  you spend 4-6 semesters (16-20 months) in the caribbean and rest in the US.  They are easier to get-in and cheaper than the US & Canadain medical schools.

Dr. Adnan, you miss the "point" brother, that was "conventional phrase" to give the people an opportunity to ask questions.  "Not ignore of mine not knowing of my homeland'.  But still, lol.  8)

prince-Muni,

you can study here (in the Caribbean) as long you have $$$.  The only problem is where will you do your clinical rotations, most Caribbean schools have their clinical's in the US.  Thus, the Somali passport won't work. If u have EU passport u can do your clinical rotation in UK most of the time.

btw, beaches here are lovely; white sands, clear blue ocean and Tropical weather,

the Caribbean's are know as the "World's Best Kept Secret".

Hi Dango.

Welcome to this place. 

I'm sort of late in welcoming you, but I feel no welcome is ever too late.





So--- the Carribean huh?

I've considered it for a while so I have some questions still.

1- if it is not too personal, why is it that you didn't cut for American medical schools?  In retrospect, is there anything you want to tell anyone now who might have been in your position before you applied about staying on top of things and staying well rounded?

2- What attracted you to the Caribbean schools?  Did you consider Europe?  I heard some of the Irish schools have a bridge program for American students and they are sometimes easier to get into.

3- do the Caribbean schools provide sufficient financial aid?  We're all broke - lets be honest, and I've heard that the Caribbean schools are super expensive.

4- If you could go back - would you do a masters program and then try to apply to American schools again or would you still do Caribbean schools?




Hope this all reaches you in good health!
