What a surprising thread to read. A few of us have been focusing more on the Dutch Carribean School threads, and the transfer of some students between medical schools has been of interest and intriguing, especially considering the impact of the loan problem on family issues. But I must say I was suprised by this moderator. I was very impressed by how he handled his move, but now he has resorted to the annoying part of ValueMD which is negative descriptions of another school in light of their own school. There are quite a few individuals that had some significant integrity on this website, unfortuately my admiration for this moderator is now in question. I hope as you start taking classes at your current institution that you get back into studying and understanding medicine and its educational processes. Continue what you did before in trying to keep the negativity off these sites. For the most part doing well in medicine depends on the strength of the individual student, their dedication, study habits and ability to learn. Both SJSM and Xavier have an opportunity to create an environment to promote learning. The USMLE scores that recent SJ students got wouldn't have been as good as they were if the basic environment didn't allow them to study. I expect that Xavier students could also do well on Bonaire. Interesting how when a St. Mathews student got a 99 percent on USMLE 1, their threads promoted it significantly, but there was little notice of the Saint James student getting a 99 percent. I think that I only noticed it by going directly to their school website. Hopefully when Xavier get results like that you will boast them significantly on your website to encourage other students about the opportunities in the Dutch Carribean.
