I agree with jtu the point of this forum is not for bashing students and schools. Realistically speaking and this goes to all Caribbean schools and US schools, you get out of them what you put into them. For example, I know students who have scored 230+ on STEP 1 coming from Caribbean schools, and who's to say that there not better then American students coming from "top tier schools". In the end no one cares where you come from its all about how you perform and whether you know your stuff.

who is to say they aren't better? program directors who won't interview them.

not fair but it does matter where you go to school..i know imgs with 260's who still can't get interviews for surgery,,,if they went to meharry or the worse DO school they'd have a spot without trying so in a program directors view US students are better than most of us...and in the end that is who counts not your fellow students or your parents that bronze and plaque your 230's up on the wall but that program director

I didn’t mean to say that Caribbean grads can achieve any specialty that they chose. Obviously that is not the case. But the majority of the specialties will ACCEPT Caribbean grads. And if there is a something that you really want to pursue there are other ways around the system by a internal medicine residency for example then going back and applying for radiology if you did not get into it the first time. Yes it’s longer and harder but if it’s what you really want then the extra year or two shouldn’t make a difference. With the exception of maybe dermatology almost any specialty is achievable.

this is what everyone is trying to say. there will be enough trouble in the future just cuz u went to carib route. if you go to a well known carib school, you are more likely to have better chances of passing exams and residency rather than going to these no-name school where there are only 3-4 students we know abt and surprisingly all 4 students are cheerleaders.

Does anyone know anything about Delphil University school of Medicine. Is the accredited? They claim to be approved by the Australia government. Does approve mean accredited by the State Medical Board of Australia? Does anyone know any student that is currently with this school?

search for a thread about Delphi on this site...you may want to stay away from schools like these
