Hi Lizzi, I just found your channel, and the contents are very helpful. I would like to thank you for the great contents. I have a BSN in nursing and I work on a med-surge floor. I want to apply to a medical schools in Cribean. Will the nursing experience will to get me matched in the US? I am nervous about not matching back in the US.
I needed to hear this. I just started my USMLE journey. Thank you so much for the inspiration. I have a question as regards research. How can I be part of a research program. I’ve watched videos but it still seems unattainable .

Congrats Lizzi one question, how hard was it to get accepted? like how many times did you submit a residency application or went on interviews until you git it? thanks!
How any credits is each semester ? If a studnet fails couple courses do they all retake sir they kick out if we fail one class Since NYU dental school does that since it’s a Caribbean dental school that takes a lot of students and then fails them out if they fail just one course... Thanks waiting for your reply
Do you get residency in Radiology, Dermatology and Plastic Surgery into US if you pass out from Carribean school I have been told very remote limited chances to get one kindly let me know if this is true or false ....
@@docali6729 I wouldn't say completely. I have a friend that went Caribbean and is now a plastic surgeon. It's going to be a lot harder, but nothing is impossible.
I remember seeing this video in the lead up to application season a year ago, it gave me the inspiration I needed as an IMG going into the whole crazy application process. I really didn't think matching in EM was going to happen for me. Now, I'm watching this one week before I start my intern year at my dream EM residency program. If you're reading this and you feel the same way I did a year ago, keep going, you can do it. You're a better applicant than you think and hard work is recognized and rewarded. Don't give up, everyone who was in your position before is pulling for you
As an IMG i really really needed to hear this. I’ve read statistics about the probabilities you have to be accepted on the EM residency and i was soooo disappointed because thats my all life deam… now you recharged my battery 😄 btw congratulations for your match
@@nataleec18 Hey Natalee! I’m at Trinity on St. Vincent. Trinity is perfect for me because: 1. At the time, they didn’t required MCAT 2. At the time, I did their premed to MD track. They took into consideration all of the prereqs I completed, so I only had to complete 2 premed terms prior to matriculating into MD program. 3. The island is beautiful, people are kind, friendly students and faculty, nice/clean campus, security, daily/hourly school transportation 4. Third and fourth year clinical rotations are in one hospital system so I like that I don’t have to travel much 5. MD program is only 4 terms on the island and then the remainder are in the U.S. 6. Early exposure to clinical rotations (they begin in the first MD term) 7. Small class sizes Top reasons for me :)
