That is a requirement by the IL state licensing board.

I was wondering because the school moved from Montserrat to St. Maarten does that affect the charter? Is the school chartered in two places? Or is Montserrat just part of St. Maarten and the move doesnt change anything?


Similarly approved? So I am lost. I am just trying to check up on things. I have been reading the St. Chris form and I dont want that mess to happen to me.

school moved due to a volcano blowing up, boards were notified as such during a temporary semester classes were held in belize i beleive. when they knew the volcano was not stable they built the school permanently in sxm and it has its own charter in the nethrland antilles. the montserrat charter i guess only applies to students who attended school there. we are governed by the netherland antilles charter so auc operates in country of charter for the full two years of basic science. my surgeon was an auc alum in illinois.

I am licensed and only went to the SXM campus. I would imagine the school holds charters in both places. Since the campus on Montserrat is buried under many feet of ash and rock, the montserrat charter isn't any good at the moment. G

Didn't they build that new university for christian Korean-Americans on the site of the old AUC Montserrat campus? It's called Atlanta Christian University Seoul-Central College of Medicine (ACU for short)? I am dead serious, too...

Aloha,

I was reading in the St Chris forum and someone posted that AUC and Ross lost their licensing ability in Texas, is this true? If so, why? Are more states going to follow?

The WHO official record of the school's charter is found at

http://www.who.int/hrh/documents/en/wdms_update.pdf
(official record is now SXM - look at both Montserrat and Netherlands Antilles)

Yes, there is a Korean med school on the island, but NOWHERE near the old campus (still a very dangerous area). I can still see AUC's old library from the northern edge of Plymouth, but I haven't seen the campus up close.
The Korean school has a grand total of 2 (yeah, that's TWO) students, which the inhabitants of M'rat say the never see. They are housed at Tropical Mansion Suites hotel. No one really knows much about what they do.

I think it is very important to realize though - anyone who went to AUC in Montserrat has to have their status verified by the Minister of Education and Health on Montserrat - their records are still housed there. They don't receive any monetary support for this, either.

The requirement for any foreign med school is the ability for the graduates of the school to be licensed in the country in which they are trained.

so why does he auc diplomas say plymouth, monserrat instead of cupecoy, sint maarten???

just curious to why and how it affects licensure

Sounds like sour grapes to me following the New Jersey fiasco that St. Chris is currently embroiled in...I'd really take what they say with a grain of salt. Again, if Texas (or any other state for that matter) is important to you, CONTACT THAT STATE'S MEDICAL LICENSING BOARD to get the information straight from the source.

Aloha,
