I've been getting some inconsistent information about these routes. I've looked through the old threads and it looks like that it is easier to get a residency through a DO program. However, I'm also hearing that getting a residency in certain locations isn't too difficult through a MD program from a Caribbean Medical School, considering you have had clinical rotations in the United States.
Does anyone have any input on this? I am not sure what kind of medicine I want to go into. Pediatrics is something I'd like to explore as is surgery and emergency medicine. I failed to get into any MD schools last cycle (3.57 GPA, 3.26 sGPA, 34 MCAT). I am trying for MD and DO schools this cycle. I am also considering one of the reputable Caribbean Schools because I think there is a good chance for me getting a partial scholarship.
Thank you all.
