| IMG Adventure: Links |
| Below are many of the links that I found most useful when considering caribbean med schools and then preparing to attend a caribbean medical school: |
| General Caribbean Medical Students Links: |
| Links Specific to Saba: |
 |
| This site has links to most of the schools around the world that cater to US and Canadian students. It's forums are priceless for those considering going abroad for medical school. If you can only visit on of my limks, this is the one you want. |
| An awesome site by a Candian IMG and Saba grad, Asad Raza. Do not miss! |
| A website that attempts to evaluate caribbean med schools, compiled by some anonymous person that no one can track down. However, the information is mostly accurate, though 4 years old. |
| This site is where I first discovered that one could still become a physician, despite being turned down by US med schools. Not very user friendly, but priceless nuggets of information are buried herein. Replaced by Valuemd. |
| Everyone who attends a carribean school will need to take out a private loan such as TERI or Sallie Mae. If your credit is bad, you may not get these loans. This site teaches you how to fix your bad credit quickly for free! And it works. |
| Another very good med student forum, with huge resources like Valuemd. Not as friendly as Valuemd, though. They really look down their noses at International Medical School students. |
| A group that advises the state medical boards regarding licensure criteria, etc. Includes links to every single state medical board. Right now these guys have been asked to evaluate off-shore schools in the near future by 7 states. |
| A forum run by an AUC student. Recently changed to Black Peoples Forum and broadened it's focus, but still has a medicine forum. |
| Get your real FICO credit scores here. You need about a 650 to get a private loan for med school. |
| Great site by Azskeptic of Valuemd. |
| This site is is awesome. Has a somewhat dated Schools Analyzer for helping you choose a caribbean med school. Worth checking out. |
| Best prices on scrubs, dissecting kits, stethoscopes, etc. |
| Get 5% off your med school text books, and have them shipped to you, even over seas. |
| An interesting site about the numbers of IMGs in rural medicine, and a breakdown of each school represented. |
| Great site for those who might want to double-board in two specialties. |
| Sometimes Hurricanes hit the caribbean. This site keeps track of bad weather in the caribbean. |
| The first Saba student web site I became aware of. Some good pictures and descriptions of what it is like to be a student at Saba University School of Medicine. |
| A more recent web site by a Saba student. |
| Probably the cheapest and best way to get your mail forwarded to Saba. |
| My friend Mickey's fantastic Saba website. If you only visit one Saba website besides the school's, this should be it! Contains numerous photos, logistical info, and the option of ordering a terrific DVD. |
| The elementary school on Saba. Costs $60 per year per student tuition now. |
| Bought my first tickets to Saba from Nancy and she saved me $200 over online services like Orbitz. Cool! |
| The only airline that services Saba, based in St. Martin. |
| Helped me write a killer personal statement, which had a lot to do with my acceptance to med school. |
| A really good blog by a minority student beginning his journey at AUC medical school. The guy is brilliant. |
| Blogs |
| A blog by a student about to start at St. Matthews University Med school. |
