There are for-profit medical schools in the Caribbean that intentionally take more students than there are realistic slots for residencies. They compensate by failing as many students out of thd program as they can, after milking as much tuition money as they can get away with. There are countless wash outs from these programs with six figure debts and no degree.


How do the Carribean schools enforce debt collection in the US? Are they registered as companies in the US and the loans are I supposed made in the US (or the country of the student's origin)?


People pay with private loans bc the tuition/rooming at Caribbean schools is astronomical - much more than the US; if your loan is from Citi or wherever - doesn't matter to Citi that it's bc you got kicked out of med school, you still need to pay it back.

I know someone who did med school at one of the Caribbean schools. They have no career and their wife is the bread winner.

How were they qualified for finance jobs? Did they get more education or do finance companies hire them just for their knowledge of medicine?



I honestly don't know... I assume undergraduate work in finance? But they went from med school at Hopkins to investment banking. No residency. First job out of college/med school.

Some just get fired for being late too often or whatever the cause - if they have enough of the residency under their belt they can apply for a medical license and work at an urgent care clinic.

Not unless they want to attend another 4 years of school and pay for it all over again. An MD does not qualify a person for either one of those jobs.


Not only that, but it is actually more difficult to get into veterinarian school or dental school than it is to get into med school.

You realize that going to med school would not qualify for either of those professions?
