Book about Medical Schools in the Caribbean

Caribbean Medical Schools have become a very popular option for undergraduates wishing to pursue a career in medicine.

In Canada there are 14 English Medical schools (3 French). Those 14 offer 2013 spots annually. In Ontario only 1 out of every 7 applicants gets accepted and matriculates (in 2009 there were 5,815 applicants for 877 spots). As a result, many qualified students are being rejected year after year.

A typical path for Canadian students has been to apply to medical schools in the United States, but this, too, has proven to be a difficult and extremely expensive route.

Learn more about the options Caribbean Medical Schools can offer you at CaribbeanMedicine.com.

USMLE Step 1 Content Developers

CanadaQBank continues to develop the very best questions and cases for the Medical Council of Canada Evaluating and Qualifying exams (the MCCEE, the MCCQE Part 1 and the MCCQE Part 2) and the United States Medical Licensing Exam (the USMLE Step 1).

We are hiring motivated and talented physicians who can contribute their time and knowledge to help us develop our QBank for the USMLE Step 1.

Detailed information about the USMLE Step 1 here.

This is what we need developed:

USMLE Step 1, Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) for the following subjects:

Anatomy
Histology
Embryology
Biochemistry
Physiology
Psychology
Ethics
Microbiology & Immunology
Genetics
Neuroscience
Epidemiology and Biostatistics
Pathology & Pathophysiology
Pharmacology

Sample USMLE Step 1 Multiple Choice Question:
A 54 year old woman suffering from influenza deteriorates and develops shaking chills and a high fever. Physical examination is remarkable for dullness to percussion at the left base and decreased breath sounds on the left. Chest x-ray confirms the diagnosis of lobar pneumonia, presumed to be caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. The patient has no known drug allergies. Which of the following antibiotics would be most appropriate to treat the patient's condition?

A. Cefotaxime
B. Chloramphenicol
C. Erythromycin
D. Penicillin
E. Vancomycin

Explanation:
The correct answer is D. Penicillin remains the first-line drug of choice for pneumococcal pneumonia, except in patients with penicillin allergy and in the relatively few areas in which pneumococcal strains with high-level penicillin resistance exist. Alternative therapies include erythromycin and vancomycin. The third-generation cephalosporin cefotaxime (choice A) is not usually used for pneumococcal pneumonia. Chloramphenicol (choice B) is not usually used for pneumococcal pneumonia. Erythromycin (choice C) is a good alternative therapy for pneumococcal pneumonia, but is usually used only when a penicillin allergy is present. Vancomycin (choice E) is not the first-line therapy, but it is a good alternative in patients allergic to penicillin or when high-level penicillin resistance (relatively uncommon) is present.

How it works:

Once you have completed the development of a case, please email it to us at: [email protected].

You can work at your own pace.

When we receive it, we will review the case. If it needs any editing or improvement, we will inform you.

Ideal candidates should meet the following criteria:

• Excellent English and grammar skills
• Medical school student or graduate
  
• International medical graduates are most welcome

Benefits:

• Excellent compensation. Payment will be made directly to your PayPal account.
• Free subscription for you to our QBanks for the duration that you are developing questions and cases for us.
• Work from home. No time pressure. Excellent guidance from us throughout the process.
• Up to 3 free online subscriptions to our QBanks (may include family members and colleagues/friends).
• Physicians with excellent communication and teaching skills may be considered for long-term involvement with future CanadaQBank projects, including development of our flashcards and videos in the near future.

How to Apply:

All interested applicants are encouraged to submit their CV to: [email protected]

We will send you:

• A Guide on how to develop USMLE Step 1 questions
• Numerous Sample USMLE Step 1 Questions
• A List of numerous High Yield USMLE Step 1 Topics

We will guide you step-by-step through the process of creating the questions and cases; but, we do need your help and expertise!
