However, there is a second route to attaining the Doctor of Medicine degree that has become a viable and reputable choice for many. This "road less traveled" is Caribbean medical schools. Students abroad enter the U.S. every year with sponsored visas by American hospitals to attain the credentials to practice medicine; so why not American students? The stringent admissions policies and limited seats available in United States medical schools have allowed these schools to accommodate a massive insurgence of applicants. Could this be an option for you? The Student Doctor Network Caribbean Medical School Primer tells a personal account of a doctor's journey through offshore medical school, gives first hand answers to questions, and provides information that is not freely expressed by websites and catalogs. Let this book help you make the right decision and be your step by step guide to realizing your dream: becoming a doctor. About the Author: Dr. Yarbrough attained his medical degree from Ross University School of Medicine. He is currently a professor of Problem Based Learning at Ross University School of Medicine and will be starting residency this year. He is a native of Memphis, Tennessee. "Dr. Yarbrough does a nice job consolidating just about all the information an overwhelmed, first-year medical student would need to know in a well-organized and easy to read handbook. It could also be worthwhile reading for a parent or spouse of a student in order to give them insight into what their family member is embarking on and investing in for the next four years." - Eunice Koh, M2- Ross University School of Medicine "I believe that Dr. Yarbrough's The Student Doctor Network Caribbean Medical School Primer is an excellent book and will be of great benefit to prospective medical students to Caribbean medical schools. This book does not only prepare students for living in the Caribbean and attending school in a foreign environment, it also highlights facts about the U.S. medical degree and practice in general." - Dr. Gina Letang Customer Reviews: Outstanding book for students considering medical school in the Caribbean.   July 9, 2007 Andrew (Los Angeles, CA) 0 out of 8 found this review helpful This book provides valuable pearls and tips that every student destined for or considering education at a Caribbean medical school.
