Hey sorry about that I didnt know. Sorry about the confusion. Good luck to the students in Aruba then!

How well does Xavier medical school or caribbean medical schools prepare you for the USMLE's....

Easy.... they teach core courses like in the US then it's up to you to study and learn And pass the USLME.

Both are considered "sub standards" medical schools.....I do not recommend anyone attending unstable schools such as Xavier or St. James....Simple lesson in history...look what happened to St. Chris...!! owned and operated by same corp running Xavier.......

Stick to reputable medical school with long track history of at least 10 years....that will save you $$$ and headaches in the long run !!

Best wishes,

If that is true, why they did not give asylum to St. Chris students? It does not make sense.

This post is not about st. christophers... check their forum out....plus that guy got a WARNING!!! SEE THE EXCLAMATION????

i personally wodnt recommend transferring to Xavier cuz its new. I know they got their clinicals.... but basic sciences? i'm not sure of..

You should stick to a school that has been around for awhile.

The Quick scoop on Schools in the islands,
Top schools Ross, AUC, SGU - need MCAT - all have tons of grads in 50 states
Next tier - Saba St Mats - MCAT helpful Saba has Ca approval
Next tier - MUA - Nevis, St James, Spartan, etc - maturing start up schools have grads in residency - post Step 1 pass rate
Start up schools - AUA, Xavier, etc - maybe grads mayb step one pass rate - not posted

First, do they have grads that have completed the program start to finish?
Next do they list where grads match?
Do they post a step 1 pass rate.
Research and judge from there
Take this with a grain of salt - PM students and ask questions BTW - I am not in Xavier

schools with most outside verifications such as federal loans, new york, cali, florida state approvals:

AUC, Ross (also has texas), SGU, UAG

has all the above except federal loans

Saba

Has new york approval

MUA Nevis

Has been around a LONG time, so its probably stable long term, but is stagnant in growth development etc.

Spartan

Start up schools without a single outside approval or verification meaning you shoud research extensively on all aspects of the school:

all the rest, aua, st james, xavier, mua-belize, st theresa, st martinus, st chris, oceania, iuhs, uhsa and so on

*remember having residents doesn't mean unrestriced licences in the states they are in since they only have training permits....

Thanks Rrod for pulling out my lame post on the schools. I had to spit that out in just a couple of minutes at work today. Really thanks for the corrections. Once again you came to aid.
