Categories: Regional vs. Off-shore

Caribbean medical schools can be categorized as either "regional" or "offshore". Regional medical schools train students to practice in the country or region where the school is located. This category includes the four schools located in Puerto Rico, which are accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, the accrediting body for all allopathic medical schools in the United States and Canada. Offshore medical schools in the Caribbean primarily train students from the United States and Canada who intend to return home for residency and clinical practice after graduation. Most offshore medical schools are dual-campus programs: basic sciences are completed in the Caribbean, while clinical clerkships are completed at teaching hospitals in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
