Yes that is true that the school does offer its own forum! and here is the thing from WHO:

Health workforce

World directory of medical schools
The WHO Department of Human Resources for Health (HRH) has undertaken discussions and preliminary agreement with the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, concerning the establishment of a Global database of health professions educational institutions that will replace the current World Directory of Medical Schools. WHO has been planning to replace the World Directory of Medical School to include other academic health institutions (schools of dentistry, nursing, midwifery, pharmacy, public health, and rehabilitation specialist).
The University of Copenhagen, will start (2007) with the provision of information through this new Database. The Database will include information related to schools' accreditation, number of admissions, students, graduates, Faculty, educational resources, address, national official recognition.
An announcement will be published on the WHO/HRH website to the effect that from now on the World Directory of Medical Schools has been changed to a database and that the University of Copenhagen will run it in collaboration with WHO, the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME), the Foundation for the Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER), International Pharmaceutical Federation and other partners. A link to the website of the database will be provided.
WHO will continue collecting and analysing relevant statistical information on health professions education and institutions based on specific needs using all data sources and making information available through the Global Health Workforce Atlas. Countries and schools interested to include their institutions in the database will provide their information to the University of Copenhagen.
In the meantime, readers are reminded that WHO has no authority to grant any form of recognition or accreditation to schools of medicine or other training institutions. Such a procedure remains the exclusive prerogative of the national government concerned.

If you go to the MCC website it clearly states that WHO is not required for Canada - the school has to either be WHO or IMED and All Saints is listed in IMED - I have spoken with the MCC personally regarding this issue as it was obviously a concern for me and they told me the exact same thing and stated that All Saints University in particular is O.K.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions

is there phone providers down there so students can use to call canada for unlimitted for like 25-30$ or something aand

are core rotations done at greenbook hospitals

most students use voip programs like skype, voip cheap, and some even use vonage. whatever fits your style.

Yes! all rotations are greenbook.

I know alot of people right now are using VoipCheap - FREE CALLS to regular phones over the internet! and www.freeinternetcalls.com - both of these make it so you can call the US and Canada mobile and landlines for free from your computer. My family can't even tell the difference that it is online and not a real phone. I think if you go to the website you actually get alot of countries for free. This would be of course valid for any island as long as you have internet.

is there rotations rounds in the hospitals of Dominica in basic sciences

yes there is
