What about more well known programs like SGU and Saba who have been consistently churning out students who do well on board exams? I think if students can't go to the Caribbean they will wind up applying to other health professions schools like Dentistry, Podiatry, Nursing, Physician Assistants, etc. Quite a few ex Chiropractors and Vets going to the Caribbean to get MDs.

Nursing is interesting because a lot of undergraduate schools are transforming their programs into "Grad Entry" programs, this really a way for them to milk financial aid money. A few schools in Chicago will grant a student a Master's in Nursing that is really just a Bachelor's in Nursing, loan limits are much higher for grad students and unlike undergrads all they need is a signature. Then again there is a massive market for nurses.
