I think that the general consensus is that most people prefer to attend a U.S. allopathic medical school. However, if you believe in the philosophy, education, and training of U.S. osteopathic medical schools, you would choose to go this route. I believe that both routes to becoming a physician are excellent pathways. But not everyone has the opportunity to go to these pathways due to circumstances such as GPAs and MCAT scores. So I believe that attending Caribbean medical schools such as St. George University and Ross University is an excellent alternative pathway, albeit has challenging situations like distance, being considered a foreign student, etc? But I believe that regardless of where one goes, if one is determined, studies hard, and is dedicated, one can be an excellent physician regardless of the medical institution. So it disturbs me when various people in these forums criticize certain pathways. This is just my opinion on this topic.
