Very important. CAAM-HP accreditation ensures recognition by U.S. and Canadian licensing bodies, ECFMG certification, and access to federal aid for some nationals. Always verify school status.

Hey everyone!

Just saw that St. George’s University has appointed Dr. Marios Loukas as the new President 

He’s been a big part of SGU’s academic leadership already, and now he's taking the top role. Super exciting to see someone with a strong background in medicine and education stepping in to lead the university.

As a student, I think this is a great move. Hoping this brings more innovation and growth to our community 

Thanks to SGU for sharing the news!

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share my experience and study plan for USMLE Step 1. I passed with a solid score and thought it might be helpful for those starting their preparation. Here’s what worked for me:

• Study Plan: I broke down the syllabus into weekly targets, focusing on one subject at a time.
  
• Resources: I primarily used First Aid, UWorld, and Pathoma.
  
• Daily Schedule: I studied 6-8 hours a day, leaving weekends for practice exams and review.
  
  

Hello everyone,
I’m considering applying to Avalon Medical University in the Caribbean and would love to hear from anyone who has attended or has experience with the school. How was your overall experience? Any insights on academics, campus life, faculty, or support services would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,
I’ve been doing a lot of research on Caribbean medical schools, and one thing that keeps coming up is accreditation and international recognition. I understand it's a crucial factor, but I’d love to hear from students, grads, or anyone in the know:

• Which accreditations should we absolutely look for?
  
• How does recognition impact residency placements in the U.S., Canada, or the UK?
  
• Are there schools that are technically accredited but still face issues with recognition abroad?
  
• Can you still practice in the U.S. if a school is not listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDMS)?
