1. Dear all can you please tell me that if this school prepares its students for the usmle (exams I, II ck, cs)? if yes, is it a seperate course or included with the tuition?
2. Do they actually place you in the us for clinical rotations or you have to find it your self and how are the classes attended in the 3-4th yr. with actual teachers or TAs or books?
3. Do you actually have to repeat the whole semester if you unfortunately fail one class?
4. What is the residency procedure. does school helps you with it?

thank you very much for your time and advice in advance.

1. scores overall are good for sgu students compared to US students, pass rate equivalent to the US(had someone with a 273 the previous year), most take a kaplan course, but not included in the tuition(can get transitional loan for it though).
2. yes there are a number of academic centers, check the sgu webite for more details
3.no, but you may have to take the class over and this could put you a year behind
4. check the ERAS and NMRP websites for more info on this
