Our editorial principles
CaribbeanMedicalSchools.com is an independent information portal. We are not a medical school, admissions agency, or accrediting body. We do not accept payment from schools to influence rankings, verification badges, or the content of a profile. Advertising and lead-generation partnerships, when present, are disclosed and never affect editorial judgment.
What we will never do
- Invent tuition, outcomes, accreditations, hospital affiliations, rankings, or licensing eligibility.
- Present marketing copy from a school as verified fact.
- Sell placement or ranking in our directory or comparison tools.
Sourcing rules
Every factual claim on a school profile must trace back to at least one of the following:
- The school's own official website, prospectus, or student handbook.
- A recognized accreditor (CAAM-HP, ACCM, NVAO, WFME registry, ECFMG, LCME).
- A government registry (US Department of Education, state medical boards, USMLE/NRMP reports).
- Peer-reviewed research or reputable long-form journalism.
Where a claim cannot be verified against one of these, it is either omitted or clearly marked as reported / unverified.
Data year & last-verified date
Tuition, cohort size, USMLE and Match outcomes, and accreditation status all carry a data year and a last-verified timestamp on the school profile. If a data point is older than 18 months, we flag it for re-verification. Where the school has not published fresh numbers, we mark the field as "not disclosed" rather than reuse stale figures.
Verification workflow
- Initial research. An editor drafts the profile from public sources, tagging every claim with a citation.
- Cross-check. A second editor independently verifies accreditation, USMLE reporting, and residency outcomes against primary sources.
- School review. Schools are invited to review the draft profile and flag factual errors before publication. They cannot rewrite editorial commentary.
- Publication. The profile goes live with the verified badge, source list, and last-verified date.
- Re-verification. Profiles are re-reviewed at least every 12 months, or immediately when a reader submits a correction with a source.
Corrections policy
If any information on this site is wrong, please tell us. Send corrections through the contact page with a source (a school URL, accreditor entry, or public document). We aim to review corrections within 5 business days. Material changes are logged with the date and the nature of the change on the affected profile.
Rankings & comparisons
We do not publish a single overall ranking of Caribbean medical schools. Any ordering you see is based on the specific filters you apply - tuition, accreditation, Match outcomes, location - and is disclosed in-page. Comparisons use identical, dated data points for every school in the set.
Reader-generated content
Reader reviews, when enabled, are moderated. We remove content that is defamatory, contains personal data, or that we cannot verify came from a genuine student or alumnus. School responses to reader reviews are published unedited alongside the original.
