1. These alumni were all in the Spanish Program, not the English

2. These alumni are all Dominican

3. Three of these alumni transfered into UNIBE from another school in Santo Domingo.

4. One of these four alumni is not from UNIBE, she attended and graduated from a different medical school in Santo Domingo.

5. They are extremely bright students, and by extremely bright I mean gifted. The non-UNIBE graduate graduated from here medical school Magna Cum Laude, Top of her Class, and got over 95 in both of her boards.

6. They all put in a lot of hard work while in medical school.

Guacanagarix I think you don't have all the information. Check this out

1.- There are alumni from Canada, usa, Puerto Rico, Haiti and Dominican Republic doing rotacion on the States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Spain. Who are register in the english program at UNIBE.

2.- There are not JUST dominicans. Dominicans usually go to Spain, therefore almost all students doing a semester of rotation on the States or Canada are foreigners.

3.- Not just transfering students can do a rotation outside DR. Any student in the last year at UNIBE can do a rotation in other country if she/he is admitted into an elective rotation programan in a teaching hospital.

4.- There is a program in Florida, (at Jacksonville, i think?) for Latin American Student, therefore they just take dominicans or latin student's from UNIBE. But the UNIBE's students can applied to any elective rotation program, there are plenty of programs that will take them on the states or canada. it just a matter of doing research or ask at the school officer on charge of elective rotations.

5.- To be accepted in an elective rotation program at any teaching hospital, not necesarily the student has to be very bright, but need to have a good GPA.

6.- form everything you do on life you have to put a lot of work, no program is going to accept you if they don't see the hard work on your results (med school grades, usmle score, etc.)

Guacanarix is not dificult to enter an elective rotation program if you plan agead and do the work. 7 of my classmate did it last semester and 5 of them are accepted for January-april 2004.

Happy new year
