Hello! I am deciding between attending Trinity and St George's in Fall 2019, and I am trying to get an honest review from a current/former Trinity student. For the record, I know that attending a Caribbean med school is not ideal, but I don't have the GPA to get into an American med school, and I have the rejection letters to prove it. I'm not extremely worried about residency matching because I want to go into Internal Medicine or Psych, and if necessary I'm happy to do my residency and have my career outside the US. As long as I can be a doctor I don't care about my geography.
Trinity seems great based on their website, I like the idea of smaller class sizes (relatively speaking) and it seems like you get a lot more early clinical exposure. Plus it's a lot cheaper. Trinity Students- What's the catch? I don't want to be fooled by good marketing, and it's so hard to find any information online that isn't from the school themselves! I would be eternally grateful to any Trinity student/alum who can answer these questions.
1. Assuming you put in the work, does Trinity prepare you to be a good doctor?
2. Do you actually get patient exposure in the first few years, or was it all lectures?
3. Is there any info on the Trinity site that is blatantly wrong/misleading?
4. If you could go back, would you choose a different Caribbean medical school over Trinity? Compared to other Caribbean schools, does Trinity hold its own?
