The point that I so eruditely made is that there were many other countries in the world besides the USA and that m ore students are currently coming to Caribbean offshore schools from other countries in the world.....who want to practice in their own countries. This forum does not exist for US students but for MEDICAL STUDENTS! Hence your point “WIthout IMED listing then it is a completely unrecognized school in the USA” is moot. Who cares? Only US students.

So to many folk currently using this forum they do not care if their school is a recognized school in the USA or not! Not everyone desires to live between Alaska and the Florida Keys. To many their homelands are their haven and their heaven!

I learned about IMED listing almost 30 years AFTER I went to medical school. You see folk who go to their country’s medical school don’t know or need to know or care about IMED listing. They just go to school. And much better schools than most of the offshore Caribbean schools.

With respect to WHY would US students go to medical school to practice elsewhere and make less then what a walmart manager does?

Again I did not address the issue of US students going to medical school, cause that is not my focus. However, I know many doctors who practice medicine in other parts of the world and are paid much less than “what a walmart manager does” and who live very wholesome, fruitful and satisfied lives, and are well respected, loved and known in their countries. You see, money is not all. Many of us who went to medical school did not go so as to make loads of money.

I know a US trained Dr that works in the polyclinic system in Barbados since 1985. He is very happy there. And he is probably paid much less than “what a walmart manager does .” Know what? He is having a ball in Bim!

Re Also you do not have to take a shot at other schools every time, it gets old.
To you - but not to me! Quid dixi scripsique, Quid dixi scripsique, Steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work knowing that my labor is not in vain. You see in time some real accreditation body will come into being that cares about standards. One day it will be fixed, and we will have standards.
