About Dr. Thuc Huynh
I collect Cool Health Infographics from across the web and share them with you. I write about physician salaries on MDsalaries.net. I launched Scrubd.In as a medical apps shopping site. And I'm chief operating officer for Scutwork.com which is the first site to aggregate residency reviews.
I'm about to launch another site to help all medical students.
On this blog, I write about my journey as a physician and business(wo)man. Dig deeper into the blog and you will see past residency experiences.

My bad. I’ve been super busy with the new job and our transition to Epic, the EHR. Also, it’s just nice to kick back and relax with family and friends that I haven’t seen much since medical school began in 2002 !!!
I’ll get on it. Pronto.

We have just transitioned to Epic as of last Wednesday! It has been a smooth transition to date. The hospital that I’m working for has really listened to the physicians and have made sure we are well supported during the change. And so far, using Epic has been cake! We’ll see how it goes!

I received your messages in my queue about your current situation at SGU. Some of it got cut off. Send me your email address and I’ll write you a response.

The short answer is yes, they do look at your gpa from basic sciences.
But to explain a little further, deciding on an applicant requires the whole perspective. GPA during clinicals, Step 1, Step 2 CK, Step 2 CS, any Step 3, recommendation letters, interview performance, and any rotations done with the program will all be considered. Every program has a different scoring method.
Good luck!

Hi Karim,
There’s no doubt that going the caribbean medical school route is challenging in different ways. But the important thing you have to remember is that you and only you are responsible for the outcome. The schools give you what you need, you are the one that acts upon it.
Many caribbean graduates are very successful, more so than myself! It’s what you make of it so if you have the drive, you will be just fine.
Good luck!
Thuc
