I’m only a student but this is what i’ve been told, correct me if I’m wrong though:
-Med school rankings are all about the $$$, top ranked means their professors pull in the most grants. It has nothing to do with teaching ability.
-Caribbean schools tailor their teachings specifically for passing the boards, vs. higher ranked schools who’s professors drone on about their own specific research (which brings in the $$$ that ranks the schools) but leave you on your own when it comes to studying for boards. Thus they may be a better option for students who are not so good when it comes to standardized tests.
Also, my father who is a surgeon asked me this question:
A student who graduates first their med school is called the valedictorian, but what to they call the student who graduates last?
“Doctor”
