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.

Opportunities for Question Writers
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: http://
www.usmle.org/Examinations/step1/step1.html
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.
