Welcome Everyone!

My name is Benji Ho and I am a family physician and 2013 graduate of the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine (AUC), located on the Dutch side of the beautiful island of St. Maarten. My time at AUC has been quite a worldwide adventure, studying two years of Basic Sciences on the island, then completing my clinical rotations in the US as well as the UK. I completed my family medicine residency at Mercer University School of Medicine / Navicent Health in Macon, Georgia. Today, I am a board-certified family physician practicing outpatient family medicine in Macon, Georgia. I hope you enjoy my site as I share with you my journey. Thanks for visiting Diary of a Caribbean Med Student!

Congrats benji!!!! I know it was a tough road but it’s almost over. Yay!
Btw – I was talking to my close friend, mai Nguyen, I think you know her and I was telling her I have been reading your blog to get an idea about Auc- where I want to go, she told me that you’re Justin and jason’s brother! This world is such a small world! A while back when they took the road trip around the states with mai they stayed at my house in Boston at the time. Your brothers are nice people. I just thought this was a neat fact so I’m sharing.
Once again Congrats and goodluck with clinical and please update often cause. 🙂
