Although I agree that IUHS and MCL are both suspect schools and that MCL does not have a charter... I have to bring it to your attention that what I bolded is an insignificant point.
Firstly, of all of the caribb schools, which one is WHO listed in the USA or britian? The answer is none, however much if not all of the clinical teaching is done in the US and/or britian. If teaching must be done in the country of charter, then all of these schools would become instantly extinct. Plus, that does not even address the fact that several schools have basic science semesters in the US such as Ross(miami) and St. Mathews (maine).
I know that it is not medical schools, but many US schools have sattelite campuses in different states and even different countries (Ga Tech has a great deal of campuses internationally). I still fail to realize how that is an unethical practice?
I do agree that distance learning is wrong. I do think that every medical student should be on a campus and in labratories during their medical education. I also agree that if a school has its own name, it should have its own charter(MCL) and not have its degrees rubber stamped by a internet medical school. However, I have to disagree that sattelite campuses are wrong.
