How Important Is Accreditation Really?

[AlbertJonathan]

I’m the first person in my family trying to pursue medicine, so I’m learning everything as I go. While researching programs abroad, I realized how much emphasis people place on Accredited caribbean medical schools and now I’m worried about choosing the wrong place. Some students online make accreditation sound like the most important factor of all. For those who already went through this process, how much did accreditation affect residency opportunities and future career plans?
