But unless he scores absolutely OUTSTANDING on the MCAT (test for admission to medical school) he won't get a spot in a US school 'cause he is a white male and their are only a few spots for those kids.
So I hear you concerns about those "other" medical schools, but not so sure if they are correct. At least the Caribbean schools require you to do your residency in Miami. May be the new "normal".

I am not the only person who has serious concerns about doctors educated in places outside of the USA, especially those educated in the 3rd world. I will admit to being a "brand snob". I like to have doctors who've graduated from Ivy League-style schools. But if there's a choice between a doctor who was born, raised and educated in the USA over someone from another country I will pick the USA educated doc every single time. USA all the way!
