One of WAUSM's frequently cited selling points is its proximity to the United States. Nassau is roughly 80 miles from the Florida coast, and the school has positioned its clinical training model around US-based partner hospitals for core clerkships. On paper this sounds like a strong logistical and academic advantage over Caribbean schools located further from the mainland. But the real questions are more granular how organized is the actual transition from Nassau to US clinical sites, how much choice do students have in where they rotate, how do the affiliated hospitals compare in prestige and teaching quality to sites used by more established Caribbean schools like SGU or Ross, and what happens when placements fall through or get delayed. This thread is for students who have made or are about to make that transition, as well as anyone tracking how WAUSM's clinical network compares in practice to the marketing materials.
