It extends superolaterally at 45 degree angle from its origin about two inchs above my plica circularis. At the sagittal plane dividing my eye in half along its anatomical axis. it bifurcates, sending a branch more superior than lateral and another more lateral than inferior. Basically, it looks like a crack opened in my face.
For further frame of reference, it's just superomedial to my supraorbital foramen and the injury severed my supratrochlear and supraorbital arteries and damaged branches of the supratrochlear branches of the opthalmic (V1) branch of my trigeminal nerve. I suffer paresthesia in a small dermatome above the origin of the laceration.
As for the educational process, I take the boards down here and all my clinical education is identical to that of an "american" medical student. Seriously, after 2nd year med school, I can apply for my student years at medical school to be anywhere in the US, though most students work in the NYC area. After that, residency matching is the same as everywhere else. Frankly, this is the exact same thing as american medical school, just larger class sizes and the campus is in Grenada. As for future job prospects, matters where you do your residency. Residency matching comes down to GPA, USMLE score, and interview, regardless of where you were educated though if me and some legacy from harvard have the same scores, he gets the spot. Other international schools, you do two residencies, one in a foreign country, the other in the US. Some aren't recognized.
And as one of the guys I talked to before I came here said, "You get asked where you went to school 5 times in your whole life but you are a DO everyday for the rest of your life."
