So far, whenever I announce that I am applying to med school in the caribbean, the person I'm talking to gets a wierd look on their face like, "are sure about this?" or "I thought you wanted to be a 'real' doctor?" etc.

I am curious what attitudes IMGs have encounted during Clinicals and/or Residency either among their US med school counterparts or from their superiors.
Do you feel that you are stigmatized for graduating from the Caribbean?
Do you feel that you are at a disadvantage?

thanks
