The most recognized Caribbean medical schools are Ross School of Medicine, Saba School of Medicine, and St. George University (SGU).

The disadvantages are what you need to be most careful of. Not ALL are ACCREDITED, which means the degree will not be accepted in the US or Canada. California, Florida, New York and New Jersey evaluate foreign medical schools individually and most Caribbean medical schools are not accredited in those states.

Do your research on foreign medical schools and how it will shape your future as a doctor in the US before enrolling in them.
