Is it possible to transfer to SGU after 2nd year at a DO school? I want to do my rotations in US - but not move to Caribs before 2nd year - therefore I want to finish my education at my DO school. Is that possible to transfer advanced standing 3rd year? (this is purely for the letters M.D.)

as far as i know, sgu doesnt take any transfer, but your best bet is to call bayshore and find out from them. good luck

I think you're making a big mistake, but the only way to get a for sure answer is to call the school admin and find out if they take 3rd year transfers from DO schools. I'm pretty sure they will if you've got good grades or Step 1. But the only way to know for sure is to call or e-mail them directly! I've heard RUMOR (only) that there are some crappy DO schools (like one or two), but you are only going to increase your uphill battle by switching to a Caribbean school...we've got a much larger stigma to overcome then any DO school in the U.S....good luck

no. sgu will not take people into the 3rd year. and if you did transfer into the 3rd year you'd still get the md degree. if you are pleased with your education, i recommend you stick out the DO training.

Maybe he/she doesn't want the DO label? Who knows, but if this is the case, yes graduating from a Caribbean school would give you the MD label, but you'd be a foreign graduate instead of a U.S. gradutate.

Agreed. The DO students I've dealt with are very professional and knowledgable.

Why transfer to Carib schools? The DO's I've spoken with who have taken both COMLEX and USMLE say that the COMLEX was alot easier (albeit longer).

Add to that the fact that you won't have AOA residencies to apply to and you've effectively narrowed your residency potential...

Good luck,

Aloha,

What base tan? I got pretty tan while in St. Maarten, however I quickly lost it. No one would ever guess that I lived in the Caribbean if they saw me now.
