Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year 36,997 students apply, for the first time, for admission to a US medical school, a number that has been increasing over the years. Of these 37,000, only approximately half will gain admission. What happens to the rest? Many have true avocation for a medical career and will search for other options to pursue their dream. Many will search for a second option, a Caribbean medical school. Caribbean medical schools remain an enigma to those most involved in medical education. Many US medical educators may see them as insignificant, a lower-quality version of US medical schools. Dr. Jorge Rios has been an insider in US and Caribbean medical education. He shares candid information about the role that Caribbean medical schools play for both students and the US medical system as a whole. Applicants to medical school will benefit from his insights. His frank remarks will be particularly helpful to students who are interested in Caribbean medical schools as an education option.

Finally, the book helps those involved in US education to differentiate between Caribbean medical schools and how the US system can benefit from greater alliances with them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congratulations! You are about to enter the next, most exciting chapter of your life - the study of medicine. For those students who pursue their medical education outside the United States or Canada, the go to destination has become the Caribbean. Each year hundreds of students enroll in the various Caribbean medical schools to receive an excellent education en-route to obtaining their Doctor of Medicine (MD). Although the final goal is the same, achieving this outcome can be difficult if the school you choose is not the right fit for you. Until now there has never been a resource available to assist and guide prospective Caribbean medical students through this arduous process. Many crucial questions on topics such as tuition, curriculum, licensing exams, and United States credentialing differ from school to school. Answers to these vital questions may be difficult to find, especially in an objective fashion. Prior to The Caribbean Medical School Reference , students have been burdened with the responsibility of researching these issues on their own at considerable time and expense and with significant consequence should a mistake be made. Given the sacrifice that you have made thus far, it is imperative that you can efficiently and objectively choose the correct Caribbean medical school.

This book was released on 2007-07-01 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing concern in the United States medical community about the lack of practicing physicians available to meet the need of our growing healthcare demands, and yet there are many hopeful medical students who are the unfortunate bearers of rejection letters from U.S. medical schools.However, there is a second route to attaining the Doctor of Medicine degree that has become a viable and reputable choice for many. This ?road less traveled? is Caribbean medical schools. Students abroad enter the U.S. every year with sponsored visas by American hospitals to attain the credentials to practice medicine; so why not American students? The stringent admissions policies and limited seats available in United States medical schools have allowed these schools to accommodate a massive insurgence of applicants. Could this be an option for you?The Student Doctor Network Caribbean Medical School Primer tells a personal account of a doctor?s journey through offshore medical school, gives first hand answers to questions, and provides information that is not freely expressed by websites and catalogs. Let this book help you make the right decision and be your step by step guide to realizing your dream: becoming a doctor.?Dr. Yarbrough does a nice job consolidating just about all the information an overwhelmed, first-year medical student would need to know in a well-organized and easy to read handbook. It could also be worthwhile reading for a parent or spouse of a student in order to give them insight into what their family member is embarking on and investing in for the next four years.? - Eunice Koh, M2- Ross University School of Medicine?I believe that Dr. Yarbrough?s The Student Doctor Network Caribbean Medical School Primer is an excellent book and will be of great benefit to prospective medical students to Caribbean medical schools. This book does not only prepare students for living in the Caribbean and attending school in a foreign environment, it also highlights facts about the U.S. medical degree and practice in general.?- Dr. Gina Letang

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together leading scholars of Caribbean education from around the world. Schooling continues to hold a special place both as a means to achieve social mobility and as a mechanism for supporting the economy of Caribbean nations. In this book, the Caribbean includes the Greater and Lesser Antilles. The Greater Antilles is made up of the five larger islands (and six countries) of the northern Caribbean, including the Cayman Islands, Cuba, Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Puerto Rico, and Jamaica. The Lesser Antilles includes the Windward and Leeward Islands which are inclusive of Barbados, St. Vincent, Trinidad and Tobago along with several other islands. Each chapter provides a unique perspective on the various social and cultural issues that define Caribbean education and schooling. The Handbook on Caribbean Education fills a void in the literature and documents the important research being done throughout the Caribbean. Creating a space where Caribbean voices are a part of “international” discussions about 21st century global matters and concerns is an important contribution of this work.
Download or read book Health and Medicine in the circum Caribbean 1800 1968 written by Juanita De Barros and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-11-16 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health and medicine in colonial environments is one of the newest areas in the history of medicine, but one in which the Caribbean is conspicuously absent. Yet the complex and fascinating history of the Caribbean, borne of the ways European colonialism combined with slavery, indentureship, migrant labour and plantation agriculture, led to the emergence of new social and cultural forms which are especially evident the area of health and medicine. The history of medical care in the Caribbean is also a history of the transfer of cultural practices from Africa and Asia, the process of creolization in the African and Asian diasporas, the perseverance of indigenous and popular medicine, and the emergence of distinct forms of western medical professionalism, science, and practice. This collection, which covers the French, Hispanic, Dutch, and British Caribbean, explores the cultural and social domains of medical experience and considers the dynamics and tensions of power. The chapters emphasize contestations over forms of medicalization and the controls of public health and address the politics of professionalization, not simply as an expression of colonial power but also of the power of a local elite against colonial or neo-colonial control. They pay particular attention to the significance of race and gender, focusing on such topics as conflicts over medical professionalization, control of women’s bodies and childbirth, and competition between ‘European’ and ‘Indigenous’ healers and healing practices. Employing a broad range of subjects and methodological approaches, this collection constitutes the first edited volume on the history of health and medicine in the circum-Caribbean region and is therefore required reading for anyone interested in the history of colonial and post-colonial medicine.
Download or read book In the Jungle of Medicine written by Hedieh Ghanbari and published by Booklocker.com. This book was released on 2014-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the story of four young Canadian doctors who each attended Ross University School of Medicine on the island of Dominica in the Caribbean. It was there, beneath the scorching sun, near banana plantations and mango groves, and under the tropic of cancer, that they toiled away in an attempt to fulfill their dreams of one day becoming physicians. Life was not easy for these four and living in a developing country was a challenge in itself, not to speak of their efforts studying medicine. At times, it must have felt as though they were trapped in the tortuous nightmare of Sisyphus. This new and unusual world was certainly not for the feint of heart. While each doctor has taken a different path, they have all ended up in the same place, bonded together in the sisterhood of tropical medicine, and they have all moved on to gain prestigious residencies.

Download or read book Caribbean Offshore Medical Schools and the International Mobility of Medical Education written by Jeffrey Morgan and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caribbean offshore medical schools are private, for-profit institutions that provide medical education to international students, including from the US and Canada, who intend to leave the region to practice medicine. Offshore medical schools are distinct from regional medical schools because they do not principally serve a local population. This offshoring industry contributes to the movement of health workers across international borders, and should considered alongside other global healthcare mobiltiies. This thesis uses three datasets to reveal the narratives that surround offshore medical schools. First, a content analysis of institutional websites shows how offshore medical schools promote themselves to prospective students. Second, a qualitative media analysis exposes dominant themes and ideologies that frame discussion of offshore medical schools, and the Canadians they graduate, in the Canadian print media. Finally, perceptions of offshore medical schools held by stakeholders involved with Canadian medical education and the physical workforce are revealed using qualitative interviews.
