Welcome to Caribbean Med Student’s Blog Library!

Reading the blogs of different Caribbean medical students, graduates, and their spouses gave me a realistic insight into the experiences offered at Caribbean medical schools, something that cannot be found in admissions viewbooks and school websites. To the world, they share their excitements, frustrations, and questions. Their thoughts are genuine and unmotivated by profit or self-promotion. With the challenges and stress of medical school, these individuals have not only their friends and fellow classmates to support and listen to them, but also everyone in the world wide web that follow their stories. Sorted by the school of the student, graduate, or spouse, here are some blogs that I have come across. The links marked by asterisks * indicate my recommendations.
