This is for Mexico.. Especially UAG.. Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara. Is a great school and really old. And of the first IMG school ever. To get you diploma in Mexico you have to do one year of practice in the goverment to get your diploma.
So student with the US have made the program called FifthPathWay, so if you go to mexico guadalajara or xochicalco and a few more you will do 4 years of medical school and a fifth in the goverment so is really 5 right. This is why is FifthPathWay you do the Fifth year in the USA and not in Mexico and this Fifth year is part of you residency. This way you don't loose a year in Mexico working for mexican goverment.
Now there are only a few state that you can do FifthPathWay, NY, NJ and Puerto Rico, I think that are more but don't know for sure.
This doesn't mean you cant practice in other places, only that you first year of residency has to be in this states. Guadalajara is fully accredited and all 50 states including Puerto Rico, No caribean school, AUC, Ross, SABA, SGU are accredited in Puerto Rico.
Guadaljara is accredited in Florida and California. But in SABA you dont have to worry about Fifthpathway since your clinicals are made in the USA. this is for complete medical schools were you make your clinicals in the schools hospital.
