Chances Matching After Dismissal from Medical School

[MDHopeful85]

If you were dismissed from a u.s. medical school for alledged unprofessionalism, then transfered or gained acceptance to a caribbean medical school, completed your MD, and attempted to match, would this drastically decrease one's chances of matching? What other options are there outside of the U.S.? Would I be able to match into a military residency? How would one explain this during an interview? Is there anyway to expunge this from your record? Thanks,

Unfortunately you will have to include, as part of your ERAS application your time spent at ALL medical schools prior to graduation. You will have to include a reason as to why you left any medical school.

In my opinion, YES you will have a difficult time matching and this will come up during any interviews you attend. What specialty are you thinking of going into? What stage are you at now? Have you transferred to a Caribb. school? Or just thinking about it at this point?
