I visited St. George's University, one of the big 4 Caribbean medical schools. The experience was anything but expected. Here's what I learned about Caribbean medical schools.

    This was a great practice in me being mindful of the reciprocity rule from Influence by Cialdini. I liked a lot of the staff and people I met at SGU, so no disrespect to them, but I cannot allow myself to be filtered or have premeds be lied to without calling this stuff out. If I'm fortunate enough to be on YouTube and have people watch them, then it's my responsibility to serve my viewers. Thanks for watching. I love you all. EDIT: No disrespect at all to Caribbean students. I have tremendous respect for the doctors and residents I have worked with who were trained in the Caribbean. They worked an uphill battle and overcame the odds. Will be making a follow up video to elaborate further
  • You should absolutely go around to U.S. Medical schools and do this same assessment. It would be incredibly enlightening to know how culture differs around the U.S. and which medical schools are just bullshitting. There is NO appropriate source online for this sort of thing right now. U.S. News and Review is a joke. As an applying student, I want to know what it's like to actually go there. How about a series where you travel around, visit a ton of medical schools, and talk to all of the students?
  • @tigger911ish
    SGU probably regretting their decision to invite you DrJ.. Lol
  • @knzay
    i was so ready for this to be a fluffy, ass-kissing video about how your mind has been changed since visiting the campus. boy was i wrong
  • SGU: invites Dr. Jubbal on an all-expense-paid trip to make them look good Dr. Jubbal: I'm about to end this school's whole career
  • @mahidac
    Caribbean MD here, also a cardiology fellow currently - every student considering a Caribbean pathway for their MD should legit watch this video. Very well done
  • @Valcreee
    well that backfired for SGU lol
  • @Am-Not-Jarvis
    "Honorary pre-med adviser". I think with all you have contributed to students in need, you can drop the "honorary" title.

    ā€œ...and thatā€™s it for things that I likeā€ -straight savage šŸ˜‚

    My cousin went to an IMG school, came back to the states and ended up becoming Chief Resident. You need to put in the work most definitely.
  • @doctorlife
    Woah, thatā€™s insane - a huge eye opener. I hope this video helps future students with their decisions and the universities to up their standards! Youā€™re filmography has upgraded as well, I like this change šŸ’ŖšŸ¼

    I go to a Caribbean medical school, because I'm from the Caribbean and currently MS4 in the US, and I was on this one rotation, where the attending called all of us into a patient room and called on one of the students and asked him to identify the rash on a teenage patient. It was clear cut what the rash was but this student he called on didn't quite understood what he was asking, as the doctor him self had a very strong accent. The doctor got so upset and into front of the patient and he's mom said "JUST IGNORE THEM, THEY KNOW NOTHING, THEY'RE NOT FROM HERE, THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THINGS WORK HERE!" I was shattered and felt extremely disrespected, I worked hard to get here, got amazing step1 and shelf scores and for this man to say "IMG's" know nothing!, I was crushed! Still crushed, I get teary eyed, every time I think of it!

    I knew all of this from past research, but I still watched it to see if you'd let yourself be swayed. Your honesty and trustworthiness is refreshing. There are a lot of people who would have been in your shoes and let the smoke fill up their ass until they couldn't see straight. I appreciate your objective approach despite the wining and dining they did.
  • @WeamAhmed95
    My man Dr. Jubba did NOT hold back šŸ‘šŸ½ very informative
  • @AN-gz6xm
    Extremely helpful! Straight forward, honest and thorough just like always! Thank you for putting in the time and effort to make useful quality content. Much appreciated šŸ˜Š
  • @philtastic1
    Kevin, you are the most ethical and moral premed advisor. Great job for staying unbiased and honest. I respect you so much brother!
  • @stellawine4976
    Thank you so much for being honest about your experience with SGU!! This video is super helpful even after watching your previous video about Caribbean medical schools.
  • @dmdm9232
    Deep RESPECT to you Doc for being so transparent with your truth instead of being bought by the fancy offerings by SGU. May you soar to tremendous heights in all that you do! Wishing you so much love and blessings to come your way! šŸ™šŸ½

    I have to say, I stumbled across your channels today and I'm obsessed. I clicked on this one expecting you to cow from a free trip, but you gave a really fair and insightful perspective. I love how you speak, I love your priorities, you're incredibly charismatic and I only wish I discovered your channel sooner! I'm going to be searching your channel to see if you have any videos on preparing for SOAP- 8 days until Black Monday
  • @damian8827
    This is why I'm subscribed to your two channels. Keep up the good work. Really appreciate your videos
