Seems someone is at home at last!
If you go to Chronicle Careers, from The Chronicle of Higher Education http://chronicle.com/jobs/100/400/9999/ you will see that the Email Dean is finally trying to get his act together by running an ad for teachers.
Finally, after 10 months, the joker has began to listen. He is beginning to understand that you cannot run a medical school with two teachersteaching consistently out of their subject areas.
That I was telling you the truth all along is mirrored in the fact that the ad expresses a need for the following Multiple positions - adjunct faculty and curriculum consultants needed in Basic science disciplines including anatomy, behavioral science, biochemistry, cell biology, embryology, histology, immunology, microbiology, pathology, pharmacology, and physiology.
Clinical science lecturers for organ system blocks: neuroscience, cardiology, respiratory, gastroenterology, endocrinology, reproductive, hematology, immunology, and musculoskeletal.
It seems that at last, IMSA will attempt to operate with more than TWO teachers. It seems that finally someone following the critique on valuemd has told DR Email that you advertise on Chronicle to get staff.
Now note carefully that the ad states that the school is in Texas, but the school IMSA [also called Jose Bernardo Gutierrez de Lara (JBGL)] is located in Nuevo Ciudad Guerrero just across the Texas/Mexico border. Note also you have to write to the sister school admin@spsom.com
That the school is registered in Texas means that you are hired under Texas law. However, you will in effect be working in Mexico. You will be working OUTSIDE OF THE US. Hence you will not be operating under TEXAS or US LAW. If they terminate you illegally with out proper cause; for example for racial discrimination, or any other reason, you have no recourse.
From the time you tell the lawyers you were working outside of the USA, they tell you, that you have no recourse; no legal rights. So you will then have to seek legal representation in Mexico. Just note that carefully!
Note also they will lure you to Texas (my wife and I got a trip to Rarotonga) and then when you ask about your contract, they will tell you there is no contract to tender, and that you have an “at will contract.” In other words, they can dismiss you at will!...... and they will!
That someone has started to listen, is evident because it is clear that following our report of the comments of the patrol officers, at the Falcon Lake border , and the advice of the knowledgeable Weatherman, they are sending you to live in San Antonio and McAllen, instead of offering accommodation in Rio Grande or Zappatta. We used to be drained by the daily commute from Rio Grande! What a barren land!
Its strange that they didn’t have money at Christmas, that they were no new students in January, and that they have money to hire new staff now. Tells me that DR Email lied to me then. I wonder what lies is he telling now by this ad? Seems the owners are learning of all his ineptitudes.
I must also warn you about an issue not mentioned in the ad. You will have to fill out the form below every weekend to tell him what you do with every 24 hours of your day.
Believe it or not. When I first got the notice about it (see below) I fell off my chair with laughter.
Remember, I am just sharing my experiences with prospective teachers and students. That is what this forum is about.
If I had good experiencesthere , I would also have shared them. All I want to see is a good medical school.

Dear Faculty,
We are in the process of trying to improve our allocation of resources and would like to see where help may be needed, where tasks might be shifted, and whatever else might help the schools improve their productivity. One step to achieving this is an accurate accounting of how we each spend our time. All of the school employees including myself will be filling out the attached report each week and sending it to their respective supervisor.
IMSA faculty should send their reports to Dr C----- with a copy to me. SPSOM faculty should send their reports directly to me. Please make your start date Sunday November 26 for the purposes of your first report and then start a new report each Sunday. You should save the template as a blank and then save it separately for each week you do. I did my first report for last week and it did not take very long. Send an electronic copy and keep a signed one to be turned in later as the opportunity presents.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
L----- D------ MD
