EDUCATION OFFERING

Caribbean offshore medical schools often specified in the Medical Doctor degree, while US and Canadian Medical Schools are often departments of universities who offer several degrees. The curriculum of offshore Medical Schools in the Caribbean follows the same as in the US. They usually only offer two years of basic sciences study and use teaching hospitals or clinics in US or Canada, sometimes in UK for clinical training. The teachings often focus on the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) and the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) certification process, and the measurement of performance is the passing rate of students in the exams. In most schools, passing of the USMLE Step 2 exam is required to graduate and get a M.D degree. In most schools, the academic calendar is divided in trimester, with semesters start in January, May and September. The lack of a summer break offers students a potentially faster route than US medical schools to a degree with a compressed curriculum.

Student body
Caribbean offshore medical schools have less than 5% local students and the rest are mainly from North America, Africa and India. They are also relatively younger than their North America counterparts. Presently, No age limit is there for any degree.

Faculty
In most educational faculty in Caribbean offshore schools are physicians or medical teachers from US, India, Guyana with at least a MD degree, some with PhDs. Lacking research faculties, the student-to-teacher ratio ranges between 9:1 and 13.

 

 

Accreditation – Twin Island University is Recognised by World Directory of Medical School

Local impact
Instead of getting research grants and local government funds, offshore schools often depend on wealthy students from out of country. The spending by foreign students and faculty, as well as increased local employment is a significant factor in the local economy.

 

Our Developmental Plan and financial plan and other policies already submitted

 

Growth
According to the World Bank, establishing a medical school in Caribbean is significantly easier than in the states. Schools are not required to do research and perform clinical training as LCME accreditation demands. Typically it only requires a business license to open a medical school in the Caribbean and get listed in the International medical Education Directory (IMED), which qualifies their students to undergo the ECFMG certification process.

The increasing number of schools has both positive and negative effects. On one hand, low initial cost in establishment increased competition that in turn increases the quality of service. On the other hand, this created a big demand in clinical rotations that even the large states have problem accommodating, let alone their home country, and draw attention from US and Canada auditors who are concerned over public loan use.
