Does the school not offer any of that info, I think they would, or at least should.

Well they do provide some info... but for the most part they say that you should be able to practice in all states but CA by the time the 1st class from the Dominica branch graduate. For me, graduation is a long ways away but still i like to collect little bits of info from here and there.

I would say you will most likely be looking over your shoulder about getting your medical license revoked in all 50 states until the school has grads and a long history of successful grads in practice. In some cases it is not good to be an explorer in the world of medicine. The people who own All Saints have a poor record in the medical school business. Do your research.

well i have done some research on them and i think i have a good idea of what they are capable of, but it seems you know more so please share.

as for 50 states, i know that wont happen but i dont want to work in CA, TX, TN, or those states.... the only ones i care about are the south eastern states and some of the north eastern states. And to my knowledge these are possible after graduating from ALL SAINTS!!

In my next hand of poker, it is possible I will get a royal ace high straight flush in spades - is it probable? Well the odds are pretty much against it. So far just a regular royal straight flush has happened to me once in my life. I am 56 years old. The current owners maybe connected to St Chris via a few other scams - they also may not be.

Did you read all of the St Chris posts? That is a business model used by several "New Schools". Have you contacted by PM some of the victims of St Chris? Try Empathy, and some of the other people on VMD. Now that would be research. Maybe even PM MYMD and get his take on the matter.
If you have not done that - that should be a big Red Flag for you. Just my .02's

Read this thread:

It may give you some light. Right now and this does not mean I am flaming you - you sound like the old St Chris cheerleaders.

I was accepted into two schools St James and AUA last year. However, I am cautious. I decided to get a MS in Biology/Biochemistry/cell biology before I run off to medical school. Maybe even get a PhD in those areas as that I want to do research more than clinical medicine. So I put off medical school until the time I am truly ready to do it.

My suggestion - always finish a ** degree from a US college, take the MCAT after practicing for it, and try to get into a US school first. That will save you a boat load of grief.

I also find it interesting that you are logged on VMD most of the time and rush to beat down any body who posts negative things about ASUM. Also to be a University you need at least three colleges (or so) with in the University structure.

What ever ............

If you get a warning, put on yer manpants and stop whining about it.

He was relevant with the topic of your thread. In one of his threads he stated that All Saints is a risk b/c it has no grads to establish repoir and licensing in the States. He gave you a reference to a thread related to your concerns. And you can't ignore the examples of schools like St Chris, b/c those stories can become a reality in your life. No school is safe, even those like Ross, St George, AUC, we all take a risk in going to Caribb school. Some schools pose a bigger risk than others. In reference to James' poker hand analogy: Going to one the big 3 are like the chances of getting a pair of any kind. The schools have been around for a long time, they have thousands of grads, established repoir with clinicals sites, residency placements, licensing in all 50 states, and they have earned as much respect as a caribb med school can for the time being. If you are going to an interview for a residency program, first you are limited to certain states, and in the case of All Saints, you are not even sure what states, if any states, you are aloud to practice in. Anyway, you go into the interview against other competition (MD's from US schools, Ross, St George, AUC, even St MAtthews), and already you are placed in the bottom of the pool of applicants even if you have a similar Step score in comparison to your other applicants. Same thing goes for a grad from Ross, St George, AUC when they go for a residency placement, there is a negative stigma attached to all Caribb grads in comparison to US med grads. But like I said before, the older more established Caribb med schools have the successful alumni to help their cause, and have certain residency programs that like the MD's produced out of these schools, whereas All Saints does not.

Keep riding that wave of motivation and determination to create the path for All Saints grads, it can be done, there is just a large risk involved. I think James was trying to get you to get down from your soapbox for a minute to take a step back and look at the big picture. Put your guard down and listen to the warning if you are concerned about your future.

Good Luck you.
