Have you heard anything from your friends about university of guyana? abouth there medical school.Ive been told its not rated in the caribbean versus UWI i guess....Whats going on with that school?#confused

Hi Follks, Just filling in on this thread. The University of Guyana Medical School is currently accredited by UWI so doctors graduating from the school can practise freely throughout the caribbean region. Some ppl like later on choose to do USMLE, PLABs or rarely the Australian board exam and go further afield or in earlier times ppl had to do CAMCE before doing post-grad at UWI.
Advantages..small classroom size, very good ward experience(wider than small island training),
Disadvantage...basic sciences could be more thorough..it is too easy to pass.

Hope this helps!

I was hoping i would hear that university of Guyana was equally good before applying.
