Most schools adopt a U.S.-modeled curriculum, preparing students for exams like USMLE (for the U.S.), UKMLA (UK), and FMGE/NExT (India).
Accredited schools are listed in WDOMS, meeting ECFMG certification criteria for residency in the U.S.
Many also provide clinical rotations in the U.S. or affiliated hospitals, ensuring exposure to the same healthcare environment.
Graduates from recognized programs are eligible for residency placements and licensing in multiple countries, provided they pass the respective exams and meet local requirements.

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)?
  

Let’s make this thread a go-to resource for prospective students trying to understand the real-world value of accreditation.]]> Hey everyone,
