hi
this school is new the way it is mention they have clinical spots in many states and in canada is not true
they are trying but the administration is very weak not organised
win

what are you talking about, we have 5 doctors just in toronto area willing to take students, we have green book rotations as well as 30 students in clinicals.
Admin is very helpfull and usefulll, and infact i find them to be very strong here on Dominica.

well ASUM aruba is very strong since the new administration has come we do have clinicals in CHICAGO INDIANA ATLANTA and we r trying for other states too...her DR H why do u keep talking about all saints dominica here why dont u post about it in ASUSM forum..sivanan i agree its a new school but its done far better than many other schools which started off long time back...

I am not sure all of them, but I do know that we have every clinical there is in Texas. My father is a urologist, who set us up with one of everything. We are also allowed to get into residencies in Texas, I do know that much,

You know I find this a bit difficult as that only Three Island schools are allowed past Texas medical board they are SGU, Ross and AUC. If you do even one core rotation that is not greenbook you will not be allowed to practice in Texas. Also rotations set up by a family member are disallowed by all states - you have to go thru the correct agency and approval system. Do your research!

Hi I am new to all of this, but I am trying to find out whether it is possible to come back to Canada (Toronto specifically) to do clinical rotations, also is it difficult to do so?

Hey Manroop,

Dr. H claims that there are 5 doctors willing to take students in Toronto.
I don't know about 5; I will find out.
You can do clinicals in Canada. I believe MCC allows only 8 weeks.
Just make sure you do electives and not cores. Also do all your cores in ACGME hospitals (not the same as greenbook).
I know the sites in Chicago are ACGME hospitals, the ones in Indiana also.
I know of one student doing a rotation in Toronto at the moment.
Contact the Head office in New Jersey and ask the Dean of Clinicals if he can coordinate a site for you in Toronto.

Hope this helps
good day

Hello everyone.
I have come across a catch in many of the states' policies for licensure. If you are a highschool student, going directly into Pre-med studies, even after having completed your MD, I think many states do not issue a license if you do not have an undergrad/bachelor's degree/atleast 2 years of undergradute work/60-90 college credits or something along those lines. I am from Toronto and I am looking in coming to All Saints in September 2009. I have gone through the viewbook and I think it's a great thing that All Saints offers a B.Sc degree (if you have completed the Pre-med and basic sciences program, and have some additional lab work and a dissertation). I called up the administration yesterday, and they had told me that about 20 states don't abide by that rule. If someone has already looked into the state policies and doesn't mind sharing their research with us, I would really appreciate it if I could get the names of the states that don't need the undergrad and also links to their documentation certifying their requirements (being the lazy person I am)
I also have some other questions regarding admissions into All Saints:
1) Our school year ends here in June of each year. When is a good time to apply? (here, students apply for university in December, before the Semester 1 exams that are held in the end of January)
2) What is the significance of having a WHO listing? Does it have anything to do with being eligible to sit for licensing examinations in all common-wealth countries? (Don't remember where I got that from)
3) Is a WHO listing necessary to get licensure in India?
4) Are Indian rotations easily available? Which hospitals do they currently conduct them in?

Please fill me in on my queries. More questions coming up as I try to recall them again (sigh).
Thank you.
