Puerto Rico V.S Carib Med schools??

[HopefulMDPJFan]

I was wondering what the differences between Puerto Rico and Carib med schools are?

I know Puerto Rico schools are LCME approved...

But, are you an IMG/FMG if you graduated from a school in Puerto Rico?
Can you do clinicals in the U.S if you go to school in Puerto Rico? Is it easier to get a top residency going to a school in Puerto Rico? I have always wondered why people choose the carib over puerto rico.

Thanks for any help and info!!

Puerto Rico is like going to a US school. Go there if you can. G

spanish. all med schools in PR teach in spanish. their rotations are in PR,and most residency placements are also in PR. In my class at Ross, besides myself, there were 4 others who spoke spanish. I didnt even think of PR prior,either.
