Matching W/only Pre-med and NO undergraduate degree

[Dr ******]

Can someone who matched into a U.S. residency only having some undergrad like 60 credits or went to a pre-med program located on the island post there experience if they gained a residency and what about permenant licensure. I am pertaining to Carribean Schools. As many states require 60-90 Undergrad Credits for Licensure. Has anyone made it to Residency with out holding a Undergrad Degree or Certain Courses that are typically required in U.S. model Medical schools such as Physics or Chemistrys. Please post your experiences or story. Thank You it will be greatly appreciated any input. As i am applying to the Match and I dont have a completed undergrad i just have 60credits and most courses are biology but i do not have the chemistrys or physics. Thanks

man this entire thread was a pain to read/comprehend

2 things:
1. how do you have 90 hours of college without chem or physics? that's like 3 years! was it all fencing and underwater basketweaving?

2. To the OP, the easiest way to find your answer is to simply call the state medical board, and not valuemd. just my 2 cents.

Hello. i am a Program director at a community based IM program. Many of my residents are great doctors and some never completed undergrad. I have to say when i see a prospective canidate that applys to my program i dont look at what kind of undergrad degree he has. I focus on his stats from Entering medical school, Many of my residents have scored greater than <90 on Board exams. I pay close attention to board scores, LoRs and the interview portions. These are just a few things. I have never never ever not chosen a canidate or granted an interview just because an individual has no undergrad degree. again i hope this clarifys some things for the previous poster. also if you guys have anyquestions plz ask away.
