Yes, my amazingly supportive husband has agreed to move with me if I go to one of these schools. Luckily if you go to Ross or SGU you only stay in the Caribbean for two years (Ross has classes through the summer so you only spend 15 months there) and then move to the states to do your clinicals. However, my husband has a great job here that he would have to sacrifice, and I feel awful about it. But as I said, he says he doesn't mind and wants me to be happy. We don't have kids, but do have three dogs that would move with us as well. Being as they are my surrogate kids, that gives me some stress too, but I'm sure they will adapt if I move them.
If you're thinking about SGU and are concerned about your family moving there, they have a great "Significant Others" organization. I have talked to some of the people from there and they are really nice. My biggest concern is my husband moving with me and just being bored out of his mind. I know medical school is a challenge for couples, and adding the fact that we'll be living in a foreign country doesn't help matters. Maybe some of you can post thoughts on marriage tips through med shcool! Anyway, here is the site for St. George's Significant Otherts Organization:
