The Texas Medical Center (the large...

Med School Caribbean Style. The journey of one girl with one dream, who refused to take "no" for an answer when it came to becoming a doctor. That's right, Mr. premed advisor! Saturday, April 11, 2015. How Caribbean students do in the match (from my personal experience). They still get pigeon-holed into the same programs that are IMG friendly and are unceremoniously ignored by the majority of other programs. Even when they can get interviews at well-known and respected institutions, more often than n...

List of Pediatric Programs that are Caribbean (IMG) Friendly. I didn't see any real outliers. There's always exceptions of course, but the vast majority of programs were the same across the board.

Wednesday, December 12, 2012. I just received my score back today and I'm happy to report that I passed with a 224! A little lower than what I was hoping for but at least I hit the average for US med students (silver lining much? Looks like Upper East Side would be an excellent place to live.

Living Life Without Fear: The thing about stress...
http://livinglifewithoutfear.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-causes-of-stress.html
Living Life Without Fear. Struggles of a Human Heart. Sunday, June 7, 2015. The thing about stress. We've been seeing a lot of things about stress lately, and how much it affects your quality of life, mental health and physical health in general. In Uruguay, the leading cause of death for those above 40 years old is cardiovascular problems. For the two weeks before my exam, I was very stressed. I wrote about this a couple of posts down, but I didn't give many clear examples. You guys, I was really. Stile...

Living Life Without Fear. Struggles of a Human Heart. Sunday, August 31, 2014. An Oasis in the desert. Everybody is leaving tomorrow, at 5am. I will be the only one standing, along with a Chadian doctor who I met today, Samedi. Yes, his name is Samedi = Saturday. I guess he was born on a Saturday, I don't know. Anyway, tonight we went to "La Residence", which is a nice hotel just down the street, with a French chef, air conditioning and decent food. Posted by Med. Student Patty. Friday, August 29, 2014.

Living Life Without Fear: April 2015
http://livinglifewithoutfear.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Living Life Without Fear. Struggles of a Human Heart. Monday, April 13, 2015. A moment of truth. So here we go. I think * one* of the reasons I didn't go to med school earlier, is because I was afraid I'd never get in. I'd never make it, so I might as well not try. You can't. You'll never make it." Folks, it was a lab write up. I did NOT get a C in that class, but the damage was already done. His words stuck with me to this day, 15 years later. So I graduated, got a job in Germany, (one of those real, gr...

Monday, September 29, 2014. As Caribbean students, we are told that we are doing well with interviews if we get a request for every 10 rejections. those are disconcerting stats.
