This fact will have no bearing on Trinity students being able to sit for NBME course comp exams or overall comp exams or register to sit for the USMLE Step 1, 2 or 3 or to register for the NRMP.
Fortunately a large number of students have elected to apply to TUSOM - fully aware of our accreditation status (and the fact that it is forthcoming) but making the choice based upon our exciting curriculum, the small class size (that we are limiting), the fine teaching hospital on the island and other distinctions that will distinguish us from other medical schools.
It's probably time to bury this tired argument but if anyone has any questions and desires more specifics about our accreditation status, you are welcome to contact me at my email address listed on the web site. We welcome all questions and inquiries.

I would think that the lack of listing on IMED does have a bearing whether Trinity students can write the USMLE.
Also, I looked over the curriculum on the school's website and I, unfortunately, did not feel the excitement. I wonder what I missed??
