Hi everyone,
I have been going back and forth between accepting the Caribbean or Australia for the last little while, so hopefully other people on here can shed some insights?
Just a disclaimer, I have done my research and spent countless hours reading about how hard it is to come back to NA. I know that I should try everything (e.g. multiple rounds of apps, DO, Grad school, etc.) before going overseas, and I have.
I never really considered Caribbean previously, but thinking more about it, there are some pros:
- The last 2 years being able to do rotations in the US is a big plus in terms of residency matching.
- Sizeable amount of money for the Global Scholar program.
- 1st year spent in the UK
Pros for Aus:
- Its Australia...enough said lol
- More reputable
- Possibility of doing internship there if for some reason I can't/don't want to match back in NA
