Do some research before you post dude. There are licensed IUHS grads who are practicing in states like GA, IL, WA, AZ, MD, etc If you do some good research, you will be able to find them.

You can cry all you want on these websites but the fact is that this school will continue to exist forever like it has for the past 8 years. They now have branches in Dubai and India. The US is not the only country in the world to practice dude. Many western countries like Australia, European nations, New Zealand, UK accept online basic science curriculum of OUM and IUHS. As long as the grads pass the local licensing exams and get trained in a residency, they will be allowed to practice in those countries.

All 50 states will not ban this school or any others that offer this type of education. Many states have acute shortage of doctors where US grads and even some of the top Carib school grads will not go. This is a fact that cannot be denied. Most people who post on these websites are urban people who probably never lived in remote rural towns in the US. Besides, this is the future, like it or not. Better get used to it as US schools have to adapt, if not now then in the distant future, due to the cost effectiveness both to the school and the student.

In the future, you may even see migration out of the US to countries like Australia, UK, etc US is in almost 10 trillion $ debt and China and India are rising. So this time, the US recovery may not be so easy as it was in the previous recessions or depressions. The world has changed a lot in the past 10 years.

So dont assume that everyone who goes to this school wants to practice in the US. Even if they want, there will always be states that will let them in.

Look at these articles that prove some of my points above:

Using Distance Learning to Provide Medical Education to Non-traditional Students

ACADEMIC MEDICINE - Abstract: Volume 82(12) December 2007 p 1158-1162 Strategies for Increasing the Physician Workforce: The Oregon Model for Expansion.
