Criteria for Caribbean Medical Schools

It is important to establish a criteria for yourself when comparing medical schools.  I had a list of about 25 aspects that were most important to me.  The top 11 most important were:

1. Chances of getting a residency
2. Rotation spots available/ Average wait time for rotations
3. USMLE Average scores
4. Hospital affiliations
5. Tuition Costs/ Average student debt
6. Availability of federal loans
7. Technology of equipment/ dummies
8. Attrition rate
9. Student: faculty ratio
10. Difficulty of curriculum
11.  Living Conditions

 * I didn't include average USMLE scores because this is an arbitrary percentage.  A more beneficial % would be the pass rate of the Comp test that students must pass in order to take the USMLE.  This is a better indicator of how well these schools prepare their students, however these numbers are hard to access.
