To my knowledge, there are no Caribbean medical schools in the US. However, there are American medical schools in the Caribbean. Perhaps this might be an acceptable option for you.

Usually less expensive. Many Caribbean Medical Schools are affordable compared to US medical schools. However, make sure you include the costs of travel abroad, travel student health insurance, and other miscellaneous costs in calculating the cost of medical school abroad. Often the education is a bargain even when these extra costs are included.

Is Osteopathic or Caribbean medical school harder?

Both types of schools cover approximately the same curriculum, which is the same curriculum in any medical school. Osteopathic schools have an additional emphasis on the musculoskeletal system, but this is a minor difference, accounting for less than 3% of the total curriculum.Graduates of each of these programs are eligible to sit for the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE). Graduates of US osteopathic medical schools have a higher pass rate on this exam than graduates of the Caribbean medical schools.There is also a practice called "osteopathy" which is common in Europe, which is akin to physical therapy and advanced chiropractic work. Perhaps this is what the answer above is referring to.It is well-known that it is more difficult to gain entry into any US medical school, including the osteopathic medical schools, than it is to gain entry into the Caribbean schools. One exception to that may be St George's University, which has become increasingly competitive in recent years. That said, it is challenging to gain admittance to any medical school, including the Caribbean schools, because of the intensive prerequisites (biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, MCAT, etc).All medical school is hard, be it in the Caribbean, at an osteopathic school, or at an allopathic institution in the US. Ask anyone who's been there.Who ever wrote the first answer is a complete fool. USMD and USDO are basically the same. The difference is the philosophy and also the fact that USDO receive 300 extra hours of training in OMM. So the bottom line is, USDO are infact more trained than USDO or IMGs. Also the students at DO schools tend to be older who have had much more life experience and are not stuck on doing surgery/radiology because they have seen life. Many DO graduates want to go into primary care in the first place (not that they can not get into higher specialities). For example PCOM is a DO school and its residency match list is next to Harvard's match list so explain that to me. Also DO students match almost 100% of the time, same can't be said for Caribbean students.DO admission stats are around 3.5-3.6 GPA and 27-30 MCAT whereas USMD stats are 3.6-3.7 and 30-31 MCAT. NOTE THAT CARRIBBEAN STATS ARE:
