DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom the author of The Covenant of Water and New York Times bestseller Cutting for Stone: a story of medicine in the American heartland, and confronting one's deepest prejudices and fears. “Remarkable.... An account of the [AIDS] plague years in America. Beautifully written…by a doctor who was changed and shaped by his patients.” —The New York Times Book Review Nestled in the Smoky Mountains of eastern Tennessee, the town of Johnson City had always seemed exempt from the anxieties of modern American life. But when the local hospital treated its first AIDS patient, a crisis that had once seemed an “urban problem” had arrived in the town to stay. Working in Johnson City was Abraham Verghese, a young Indian doctor specializing in infectious diseases. Dr. Verghese became by necessity the local AIDS expert, soon besieged by a shocking number of male and female patients whose stories came to occupy his mind, and even take over his life. Verghese brought a singular perspective to Johnson City: as a doctor unique in his abilities; as an outsider who could talk to people suspicious of local practitioners; above all, as a writer of grace and compassion who saw that what was happening in this conservative community was both a medical and a spiritual emergency.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThere is a growing concern in the United States medical community about the lack of practicing physicians available to meet the need of our growing healthcare demands, and yet there are many hopeful medical students who are the unfortunate bearers of rejection letters from U.S. medical schools.However, there is a second route to attaining the Doctor of Medicine degree that has become a viable and reputable choice for many. This ?road less traveled? is Caribbean medical schools. Students abroad enter the U.S. every year with sponsored visas by American hospitals to attain the credentials to practice medicine; so why not American students? The stringent admissions policies and limited seats available in United States medical schools have allowed these schools to accommodate a massive insurgence of applicants. Could this be an option for you?The Student Doctor Network Caribbean Medical School Primer tells a personal account of a doctor?s journey through offshore medical school, gives first hand answers to questions, and provides information that is not freely expressed by websites and catalogs. Let this book help you make the right decision and be your step by step guide to realizing your dream: becoming a doctor.?Dr. Yarbrough does a nice job consolidating just about all the information an overwhelmed, first-year medical student would need to know in a well-organized and easy to read handbook. It could also be worthwhile reading for a parent or spouse of a student in order to give them insight into what their family member is embarking on and investing in for the next four years.? - Eunice Koh, M2- Ross University School of Medicine?I believe that Dr. Yarbrough?s The Student Doctor Network Caribbean Medical School Primer is an excellent book and will be of great benefit to prospective medical students to Caribbean medical schools. This book does not only prepare students for living in the Caribbean and attending school in a foreign environment, it also highlights facts about the U.S. medical degree and practice in general.?- Dr. Gina Letang

Today, only about one-third of all students who apply to medical college are accepted—a statistic that emphasizes the vital importance of well-focused preparation on the part of medical school candidates. Getting into Medical School, now in its new twelfth edition, has gained a well-earned reputation as a time-proven source of sound advice and information on how medical school candidates can improve their chances for admission. Written by a medical doctor who is also an experienced student advisor, and updated to reflect today’s medical school environment, this book emphasizes the importance of attaining a good score on the standardized MCAT (Medical College Admission Test). It also guides applicants through the arduous process of preparing the medical school application and advises them on how to make a good impression when invited for that all-important personal interview. The book concludes with a detailed medical school directory that lists up-to-date tuitions and fees, academic requirements, and application and enrollment information for more than 170 accredited medical and osteopathic colleges across the United States. Also included is a list of Web sites that provide helpful information to medical school candidates.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book brings together leading scholars of Caribbean education from around the world. Schooling continues to hold a special place both as a means to achieve social mobility and as a mechanism for supporting the economy of Caribbean nations. In this book, the Caribbean includes the Greater and Lesser Antilles. The Greater Antilles is made up of the five larger islands (and six countries) of the northern Caribbean, including the Cayman Islands, Cuba, Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Puerto Rico, and Jamaica. The Lesser Antilles includes the Windward and Leeward Islands which are inclusive of Barbados, St. Vincent, Trinidad and Tobago along with several other islands. Each chapter provides a unique perspective on the various social and cultural issues that define Caribbean education and schooling. The Handbook on Caribbean Education fills a void in the literature and documents the important research being done throughout the Caribbean. Creating a space where Caribbean voices are a part of “international” discussions about 21st century global matters and concerns is an important contribution of this work.
