Another DC's 2 cents...

Have you guys ever imagined the "online" student having several of his friends or wive(s) helping him complete his onlilne work? Who can stop that, am I right?

Then, he goes to clinicals, has no confidence ( I sure as heck wouldn't) gained by being in a "real" medical school, no clinical advisor to help him to navigate and know how to behave himself in his clerkships, little or no support from fellow students, no wonder he or she fails clinicals.

Just one DC not taking the online way, after having thoroughly investigated it. I know this is abotu IUHS, which I actually know nothing about. But UHSA says they have REAL people their taking traditional courses, has anyone ever witnessed that?

This post started with DRJJ1 saying he knew one Resident from IUHS. One? That's kinda scarey. There's a reason most people dont' go that route, it's common sense. I have talked with grads from online programs, and they get no help from teh school to pass USMLE, don't get prepped in testing during basic sciences with USMLE like testing, and have a real rough time, 98% don't have the tenacity to do it.

It is really weird, when you see it in context, to have a thread abotu the one known resident from IUHS.

WHY TORTURE YOURSELF IN THIS WAY, TO MAYBE GET A LICENCE?

Again, after all my investigation, and the 40 months and money I am going to put into it (Which by the way UHSA costs about the same as the lower big 4), I will not risk NOT GETTING LICENCED, as Genossa Max has said.

Anyone wanting to know more should search Genossa Max and Picard and rrod posts, they are good people who have posted a lot of good knowledge about all this.

SORRY i am a little off topic. I am not bashing any school or person either, it just seems like needless self torture.

Hope it helps.

Ps. These people who say "they know..such and such about..so and so" always come across to me as School Owners or School Administrators.
eeeeek.

Oh Lord, I hope this helps someone.
