I am not going to sugar coat it -every school has their issues. I am very happy with my decision to attend CMU. The level of academia has improved tremendously since I started. We now have over 260 students in basic sciences. We have a new 3D anatomy lab, we have amazing professors. The thing that drew me to this school versus any other medical school in the caribbean is that at CMU they actually care a bout you. You're not just a dollar sign here, you're a student and a person. The faculty and staff are very welcoming and accommodating. We have amazing professors, our new physical diagnosis class is preparing us for the next step in our medical careers; clinicals and for step 2 CS&CK. Its not a perfect school we have a bumps in the road... and my advice to anyone coming from the US to a caribbean medical school is to lower you expectations a bit. You will be pushed, you will learn and you will get your monies worth but never compare it to the states because its simply not and you're not paying american med school tuition. If you are a serious student and work hard you will thrive and you will succeed. CMU gives you all the resources necessary to become a doctor in the U.S., they are constantly working to better the school. :peace:
