Medical Schools abroad with US clinical rotations

Hey Guys!
I'm new to this forum and am having a hard time finding a forum that addresses my particular scenerio.

My stats:
3.3/ Cornell Engineering Undergrad (Biotech Eng)
Some research etc

MCAT's - taken in Apr 2005 (was sick and don't anticipate a good score).

I am looking for a medical school abroad that has a great track record in getting their students into American Clinical rotations (I already know of Carib med schools). Is there a comprehensive list or ranking I can check through?

Your help is much appreciated.

do you mean rotations or residencies? if you mean rotations, you should just check the web site for a given off shore school and see what their clinical sites are.

Hey! I'm just trying to find a best bet to get into a residency program - as far as clinical rotations go - I've heard getting into American Clinical rotations increases your chances of getting into the respective residencies. I just need someone to help me through finding a med school abroad that would help me get a clinical rotation to eventually get me a residency (provided I do well on the USMLE's).

Abroad Medical Schools

In the US, there are currently many more residencies than graduates of American medical schools to fill them. As a result, graduates of international medical schools do get residencies, even if they do not match with their first choice programs. In order to increase the chances of obtaining the residency, students should:

* attend a well-established international program with a good track record of residency matches
* do well on Steps 1 and 2 of the USMLE
* try to arrange clinical rotations in the US in the particular field as well as in hospitals in which they would like to do a residency



Which Universities abroad have historically done well in preparing their graduates according to these 3 standards?
