Smart Route to Study Medicine In USA

Step 1: Apply To A Well-Recognized Medical University In Caribbean

Besides applying to medical universities in the US, you must apply for admission to the MD Program in a Caribbean Medical University that fulfills following criteria:

• ✓ Certified by Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG);
• ✓ Offers preparation facilities for the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE); and
• ✓ Provide opportunities for clinical rotations in the hospitals of the United States.

Most of the Caribbean Medical Universities offers a five- or six-year MD Program divided into three stages: Pre-Medical Program, Basic Sciences Program, or Clinical Rotations Program. If the medical university is certified by ECFMG, MD Program of the University is recognized in the US.

Further, USMLE is a three-step examination for medical licensure in the United States. If a medical university offers USMLE Coaching, you can qualify USMLE Step-1 and Step-2 along with your MD Program that increases your chances to get clinical training and residency in the US.

There are few Caribbean medical universities that offer USMLE coaching and an opportunity to apply for clinical training in the US. If you study medicine at one of these medical universities, you can complete your Pre-Medical and Basic Sciences Program in the Caribbean, qualify USMLE Step-1 as well as USMLE Step-2 during the program, and go to the US for clinical training during Clinical Rotations Program.

Step 2: Apply for Clinical Training in the US

In the Caribbean, you can complete your Pre-Medical and Basic Sciences stages of the MD Program. For the third stage of the Program, i.e., Clinical Rotations, you can apply for clinical training in the US.

While it is not required to complete USMLE Step 1 or Step 2 to get clinical training in the US, it is suggested to qualify at least Step 1 of the USMLE by the time you apply for clinical rotations in the US. With USMLE Step 1 qualification in your pitch, your application will have a higher weight in comparison to students who have not qualified any step of USMLE.

Once you get the opportunity for Clinical Rotations in the US, make the best use of your time, learn as much as you can, and get letters of recommendation for your great performance. Letters of recommendation boost your chances to secure Medical Residency in the US after completion of your graduation.

During Clinical Rotations Program, you should also prepare for USMLE Step 2 and must qualify the Step 2 during or immediately after Clinical Rotations. Students who have qualified USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 are considered in a better position to secure Medical Residency in the US.

After completion of your Clinical Rotations, you qualify as an International Medical Graduate. After that, you need to apply for certification to apply for Residency Program in the US (Postgraduation in medicine in the US) and appear for USMLE Step 3, the final step of US Medical Licensing Examination. Besides being an International Medical Graduate, you must have qualified USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 to apply for ECFMG certification.

Step 3: Apply for Residency Program in the US

Residency Program in the US is a Postgraduate Medical Program that every medical graduate, who wish to practice medicine in the US, must complete.

All the International Medical Graduates need to fulfill following the following requirements to file an application for Residency in the US:

• ✓ Qualify USMLE Step 1 & Step 2
• ✓ Get Certified by ECFMG

Once you qualify the above criteria, you can apply to National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), a program to help medical graduates get placement in US Residency Program. More details about the program can be found on the .

Usually, Residency in the US is a three-year program. During your Residency, you can appear in and qualify the last step of USMLE, i.e. USMLE Step-3. On completion of Residency Program in the US and USMLE, you can apply for medical licensure in the US. Besides medical licensure in the US, completion of Postgraduation in the US makes you entitled to get license for practice of medicine in other countries worldwide.
