If I need to go foreign, which hopefull I won't when my contacts pull some strings, but whatever, I'd much rather go to school in England than a place like st kitts or Dominica!

One or two anecdotal reports of good residencies doesn't translate into a safe bet for you. Better to have memories of lots of mosquito bites, than have an MD you can't use.
TAFKA did exceedingly well on all three steps on the boards, and was published. This is less a reflection of the quality of education, and more an indicator that he worked very hard, and has a lot of baseline smarts. This is like a weight loss commercial. There should be a disclaimer "Results are not typical"
It does seem that SCIMD is on the right track, but you can't ignore the problems they have had. Nobody should recommend a school that hasn't proven itself again and again. SCIMD's problems are far too recent to say this school has a good track record. It is one to watch. If it succeeds, the idea is great. A school chartered in one country holding classes in a country that is far nicer to live in. G
