Carmen as much as I would like to agree with you, you do not expect any reasonable person to assume that because one inept student it means that the entire program does not work. Your ending statement , pardon my bluntness, is totally ignorant. "This does provide the point though that these students are not receiving needed skills. " No, it does not prove that, it only proves this student was incompetent. How about the students that are in residency or the rest of the students in clinicals? Do you have that supporting data?
Can you provide more testimony from your insiders of more cases of students unable to perform their duties in clinicals?
Just curious, such a bold statement woke up my curiosity.

Having seen a "traditional" medical school and knowing all of the activities undertaken in labs, etc. I personally don't believe that on-line education offers as thorough of an education as in-class, but who knows what the future will hold? I can tell you, though, that the way IUHS is teaching, the students at this school are not receiving a satisfactory medical education.
We all read about doctors who are negligent, etc. and I fear that IUHS may be producing some similar doctors. I was told a story by one of the admin people there that they had a vet doing on-line education. When he went on to clinicals, complaints were received because he couldn't do proper doctor-patient interviews (he was used to animals, ha ha). This does provide the point though that these students are not receiving needed skills.
