Need Advice. Went to China w/out doing research!!!!!

[ReaderValueMD]

Hi, I know I should have posted a long time ago before taking the plunge but it is still never too late to ask for advice. I am a non-traditional american student currently enrolled in a medical university in china that are teaching in English. They have not been teaching foreign students for long since it is a Very New program.
I saw this ad about going to china for medical studies and got excited because of the idea of being able to practice back in my home country and becoming a Doctor and that it was really cheap. After going there I found out that it was in fact really cheap but got jipped through the person I went through.
Everyone kept saying that if you score exceptionally well on your Step 1 then you will definitely get a residency. It did not occur to me to ask relevant questions such as what is the success rate of students getting licensed in the states after passing this program? If they were going to prepare us for the USMLE? Where are the clinical rotations conducted? etc..... I was misinformed about the information about this school and due to my stupidity did not bother to conduct any further research.
To make a long story short, I have completed 1 year in that university undergoing a lot of drama. The facility is not at all good. I have a feeling I made a big mistake. People say if you score well on your USMLE, you will get a residency.
How easy will this be and I know it won't? I guess it will take a lot of hardwork and internships and LORs and research work.
My question is, is it worth continuing, since the program is 5 years including internship? At first we were told that we could do our internship anywhere if approved by the school. Then we reconfirmed and the person responsible said that he would like if we did our internship in China. So it seems that he is going to make the chances of doing 5th year in States(hopefully I get one) very slim.
My option is staying here and continuing with a career I already had, and losing a lot of money that was given to the person that got the admission through misinformation and maybe if my desire to be a Doctor is so strong try a different option such as maybe America or Carib
Or continue and not know where I might end up 5 years from now and losing 5 years when I can still be in my current profession gaining experience and maybe pursuing a masters.
Please any kind of advice will be helpful. I have a family member who is saying stick with it and Work very hard. But if I had known it was going to be SOO hard then I would not have gotten myself in this position. PLEASE ANY ADVICE!!!!!!
Thanks

You are not the first to get a rude awakening with a foreign med school. First thing u need to do as people ahve said on many other threads is to contact the licensing board of the state u want to not just do ure residency in, but be fully licensed in. Also I think u need to check if this school is on IMED and WHO. If u cant get what u are looking for, and u do not plan to be a permanent resident in China, start from scratch. You wont save anymore time staying there.

This school is on IMED and WHO recognized.

What do you mean by "If u cant get what u are looking for"?

Honestly, what did you expect when you went to China? It is not a country that is known for it's excellent in medicine (Western, at least), in addition to not being known for master's of ESL.

Start from scratch. Any legit medical school (even "second tier" schools) in the Caribbean are your best shot at this point.

Oh, I didn't realize how cryptic I sounded. I just meant that if the school u are paying money and spending time and energy in is not giving u the education u are seeking, then it is time to bite the bullet and leave. It just sounds like the OP is so miserable and I think just wants out.
