Who am I?: My name is Hassan and I am a 2nd Year Medical student at the Medical University of Americas, Nevis, West Indies. I aim to throw light on what studying Medicine in the Caribbean is like and answer any questions particularly for Pre-Meds, who are looking into the Caribbean option. I will be keeping it 100% REAL!
I will also be debunking myths, giving my perspective on things, and giving tips on studying.
Feel free to connect with me on Instagram or email and ask me any questions you may have.

Never looked back, nobody ever asked where I went to school.
I worked with two other surgeons, one from Penn, other Yale.

Very enlightening and inspiring story! Thanks for sharing!

same here. graduated 2009, father graduated 88. ortho, roommate from SGU matched in plastics. Just work hard, network and do reasonably well on the exams. GLUCK!

[@stephanie983]

Just to add about failing an exam: at SGU you need to achieve 69.5% on each exam to pass that exam in term 1. If you don't, you'll get an email that you're performing unsatisfactorily and they will offer you a program called ITI which is learning in smaller groups via major stop points. In order to pass the entire term you need to achieve a total of 528 'points' - your raw score from each exam contributes to these points, as well as participation points from small group, attending lecture (about 66 'free points' in total). The majority of the points you need to pass will come from exams. In other words - if you get less than 528 points overall, you will fail that term and be offered credit remediation.
