I was just wondering if anyone currently at Saba or who has finished at Saba knows if anyone has been able to transfer from MUA Nevis to Saba University School of Medicine.

I applied to Saba but was put on 'hold' status pending me writing the MCAT, whereas, MUA Nevis accepted me without it, so I've opted to go to MUA Nevis instead (less headache to not deal with killing myself studying for MCAT).

I'm perfectly satisfied with my decision to attend MUA because I want to practice in New York (since they've been recently approved by New York), but it still bothers me that they are not yet approved by California - the so-called 'gold-standard' of foreign med schools.

Hopefully everything will go well when I start in May 2007, I was just curious if transferring is a possibility and, if so, if it creates any potential licensing issues when trying to practice in the U.S.

P.S. --> everyone says that MUA and Saba has parallel curriculums..not sure if that is true really anymore, just go on both websites and see..apparently Saba requires approx. 100 extra hours in order to earn the same number of credits as someone at MUA..I think Saba is adding a lot more problem-based learning stuff and lab/tutorial work now, just my observation.
