Years ago, UAG was the major destination for US students seeking foreign medical degrees; however, the picture has changed with the advent of the carib schools.
The carib schools are now a better deal -- as indicated by their success. The carib schools only require 2 years abroad and provide US clinical experience. For many, these are real advantages. I believe the 5th pathway may now be in jeopardy which may require you to spend an extra year in Mexico -- which would be a major disadvantage of UAG. In my opinion, the only advantage of UAG is for someone who really wants to experience a very different culture, learn Spanish, etc. Many students have gone the UAG route; however, I believe the carib route is a more direct and flexible route to a US residency.
