Intent

The intentions of this website are as follows:

1. To motivate myself to study for shelf exams and USMLE Step I early and encourage others to do the same.
2. To be used as an online guide by myself and other International Medical Graduates (IMG’s) who are studying basic sciences in a Caribbean medical school.
3. To present a variety of study styles and habits along with useful tips and resources.
4. To enlighten and clarify everything I can about Caribbean medical schools.
5. I learn a lot more through teaching and discussion. This blog is a great medium to teach myself and others.
6. To guide fellow medical students in the right direction and help them become an “A” student.
7. To provide an alternative venue for Caribbean medical students where they can share their thoughts, network, ask questions, and find answers.
8. To provide reliable, informative, and organized information about Caribbean medical schools and the clinical years that follow.
9. To familiarize myself with blogging.

My goals are to:

1. Finish my 20 months of basic sciences with a 4.0 average.
2. Begin preparing NOW for my USMLE Step I and score 240+.
3. Gain a full understanding of the clinical years and the residency matching process.
4. Provide that tiny bit of light at the end of the tunnel for medstudents behind me.
5. Motivate others in Caribbean Medical Schools and help them develop good study habits.
6. Build an interactive online community, with students ready to help one another.
7. Do my best to address every question and comment that come my way.
8. Have enough website traffic to encourage sponsors and advertisers in shouldering the cost of putting up the site.
9. Be your BEST BUDDY (aka. resource) on the island.

This website is NOT:

1. An affiliate of any medical school in the Caribbean.
2. Made for making profits. Although sponsors and advertisers are welcome to help shoulder the cost of building and maintaining the website.
