Georgetown Travel Answers

You've posted this question before and I don't think you got any replies. Don't forget that this is a travel website, with members supplying answers. It is not one that specializes in evaluating medical schools and living conditions for doctors in other countries. Had a knowledgable member been able to answer, he or she would have. My guess is no one here has the knowledge to answer your question.

yup i know i just thought that guyana nationals may know and help.sorry

Hi I agree with Grumpy - I really think that you need to access some Gyuana nationals to help you. Surely if you are so set on working there, you have some access to local input? It all sounds a bit random, and I am concerned that you are making some potentially life-changing decisions and expectng input from people who don't have the knowledge and/or capacity to input. Don't you think thát you owe it to yourself to do some more detailed research on a website that has a solid medical background? Regards Cathy

I can give you a general area answer. Texila like Ross and many other off shore medical schools, are set up for american students, in the majority, who cannot get into their own country medical schools. It is like a for profit medical schools which have proliferated throughout the world, like the medical schools in Kygizstan that many Indian Nationals go to. When you say, would you get a job? do you mean, in guyana? or in the region ? or in the USA. In this part of the world, USA and Canada are the prime destinations for graduates from India and Pakistan Medical Schools. You can work (visa allowing) in Guyana and possibly in other west indian islands. This university which is a medical university is recognized by WHO as are most of the for profit medical schools in the english speaking caribbean. Regarding entry into the USA, a residency in off shore medical schools DOES not give you any advantage than you already have now. If your interest is getting into USA for practice, you should try that now rather than wait for three years when your chances are only the same as they are now, and the examinations necessary would be the same. The fact that at the Cuban Medical Schools, we have so many genuine Guyanese students studying Medicine, because most of these Guyanese would not be able to afford the school fees charged at these for profit medical schools. There is no prejudice towards medical graduates of these off shore medical schools, since it is well known that there is no correlation between your school of study and your professional competence later on. Guyana is a good country, Georgetown is slightly violent as are most of the big West Indian Cities, but the countryside is extraordinarily beautiful. there is a chance to travel to nearby guyanas: venezuela surinam and french guyane. Good Luck
