trouble is IUHS is not in its "infancy" it started in 1998 and has not proved to be a viable option. SMU started in 1997 had a crisis, moved and is so far ahead of iuhs that i doubt it is even measureable. AUA started in 2004 and already has residents this year as does st james, even st chris with its african charter, classes in england, loss of recognition by the GMC has grads working.

the issue is not about online medical education, i have no doubt it is the future, the issue is online medical education in a schools with no oversight, real credentialing bodies seeking licensure in the US. i am sure the university of phoenix and every other online program in the US has to meet guidelines and have oversight to remain accredited. until online education is the norm in the states this model of education should be avoided like the plague
