Avoid this school like the palgue

[IMG X-Files]

Dear prospective physician,

I highly encourage prospective students to visit the schools even prior to applying. Chances are ANYONE will get admitted, as these schools are substandards. Furthermore, a quick look at the "Villa" and you can see this is not a legitimate university or school.
No medical facilities (one microscope and a flat screen TV) does not equate to a medical college. Limited instructors with flashy website, that is all to this university.

Avoid this school like the plague !

[IMG X-Files]

Please !!!
This is not a school this is a complete JOKE and an insult to the entire medical profession !
How can you even combine the words university and medicine to this bad joke.
One used microscope and a dummy you got on ebay does not warrent you the ability to even relate your 2 bedrooms and a den villa to anything but a medical school !!!

Students with an IQ over 20 should not even think about sending applications, What a sham !

Moderator, this is an absolute insult to the entire medical profession, I encourage the moderators at VALUEMD to screen schools. Students should not even be in contact with such institutions. !!

[IMG X-Files]

Your admission is your $6000 cheque !

This school is a total joke and should not even be allowed on VALUEMD, let alone WHO recognition.

It makes bad schools look good......

A used dummy and a microscope from ebay does not equate medical education !

These photos are from the St. Theresa Villa album page !!

So, how many students are there now? And in which programs?

How many instructors on site?


Can any current students provide this info?

Instructirs: one highschool teacher
Students: 2 dogs and a cat.

No one in their right mind will even think of applying to such a joke. As a Medical Physician it makes me furious to see such scams !

Prospective students should contact their state boards and provide them with photos of the campus and program information, most medical boards will NEVER issue graduates of such schools a medical license.

I encourage the moderator to remove this school from VALUEMD !!

Thank you !

did you see the thread that the admin created for photos?

i would be embarressed to post pics like that. the library is a few bookshelfs in a room that looks like my closet.

the histo/micro lab has a picture of a microscope on a table.

they are already listing ny and florida as states that students do rotations in. the scary thing is that they are not approved for either one!!!!

sounds like a scam to me.

[IMG X-Files]

This is a total joke !!
At one point from my site visits I thought AUA was a bad player, now it makes it seems like Harvard U.

I recently visited Belize, most schools there are far from being "quality" medical education. But this one, is a joke. At least the belize schools are rented floors in a commerical building. Poor choice...However, here we have a house, with 2 bedrooms, one with few bookshelves the other with a used microscope from ebay.

I really hope CAAM-HP will get on the ball and delist these jokes from the region.

[IMG X-Files]

what kind of a teaching position ? If you can bring some books with you as well, I heard this school has some serious shortage...LOL...This is SO, SO SAD !!!

Also, bring another microscope with you the one at the "LAB" doesn't work !

Bad Dobby now wonder if he can go on e-bay and buy microscope and dummy and open Hogwarts school of misery and medicine. He wonders if he too can also buy a printing press and makes money also....
Bad Dobby bang - bang sound of bad Dobby hitting head with medical dummy - then doing the "happy happy joy dance".

how many students are currently attending your school and planning on attending ?

Dudes, get your facts straight before you attack.....:D The dummy is called slim man is computerized (dont no the cost ddudes), does everything that patient u might face does, but no risk....of fatal errors. Talks, pukes, breathes, ekg, defib, ACLS, GI, chest tube insertion, central line insertion, IV's, catheters and on......Geezzz! Peace all...STUDY HARD

[IMG X-Files]

are you a current student ? if so, please share with us more information about this school..how many students attending ?? Did u research other schools prior to this one ? what made u attend this school etc.. ??

My advise, quit and attend a real medical college, chances are by the time u graduate, you will be left with a piece of paper that means nothing in the real world...state boards were already contacted and are investigating this school......Don't waste your hard earned money...

Best wishes,

[IMG X-Files]

Any photos of students attending ? real time lectures ? hospital rounds ? which hospital is this school affiliated with ?
Who is the owner of the school ? what is the infrastructure of the university ?

Its people like PharmDboy who really show how good the school is!!!
St. Theresa is a EXCELLENT medical school and there is no reason why we should be worried about it...

I mean I have never heard of a medical school shutting down before...why would this one!

[{ Dr | G }]

Honestly IMG xfile guy
its great, that you try and create awareness about schools that create problems for current and prospective students. But do think about what your doing calling the boards up and all... consider students in Clinicals about to graduate, could very possibly be getting a resident position in the near future. but u come in and u screw it up by calling the boards. im not saying this school is bad or not. but i dont think you are doing anyone a favor when you call the boards. Please do your best to discourage students from attending certain schools if they seem inadequate in teaching medicine to you, but why go to the extent of attempting to shut schools down that could possibly create futures for students. students have a mind of there own, if they attend a school and screw up it is there fault, u can tell them "i told you so" but what if you have created a problem for a very capable school and student by trying to shut the school down. Even you have said in your posts that you have seen very good doctors from very bad schools, and very bad doctors from very good schools. So how can you judge the type of doctor one may become from a certain school. I am totally with you for trying to enlighten people about schools, create awareness, but there is limit. I would really like to know what organization you belong to, even wen I pmd u, you said you were planning on creating a delist for certain schools, so that those students cannot practice in Ontario inclusive of AUA. But I ask you why?... why would you do that… since you are doing it it means that you know that there is a fair possibility of a student from one of these schools to gain residency and work in Ontario or any other place for that matter. So why don’t you just allow these qualified students to do that. Why must you be a burden on these graduates who already have so much pressure on them in the first place being a foreign graduate…
Why WHY WHY WHY WHY?????
u are a physician in Ontario rite??
that means technically you do have a life???
or am I wrong, I think I am, because it sure seems like it….
I encourage you to create awareness, but chill out man, there is a limit and let people live…
ive been meaning to ask you why for a long time, form all ur previous posts, but I guess you jus opened the doors rite now….
peace out man,

Students of St Theresa
Medical education is a business. Please do your research, and consider every single problem that might confront you in the future before you continue or pursue your medical education.
I am doing the same, and due to my own restrictions I am most likely going to attend a school that Mr. IMG xfiles considers to be worthless….. I have done research and I am still doing research and keeping my eyes open for any opportunities that might surpass another. I suggest you all do the same,
good luck with everything,
and I hope everyone has a bright future.

What school are you going to! It sounds really good...

if Mr. IMG xfiles shuts down my school I might come to yours!
Can you check if they accept St. Theresa transfer credits

[jameslynton]

Hey, I agree with Dr G - in the 70's when I heard SGU was starting - I thought no way that will last. Now I am not comapring SGU with St Theresa's however, schools have to start somewhere. Some people have to be the explorer's and take a chance.
Some of us have limited amount of choices in the school we go to because of other factors in our lives.
Yea, don't make live more difficult for others. Some already have tough fields to plow.

[Scott1981]

I mean I have never heard of a medical school shutting down before...why would this one!

you have got to be kidding me!!! :shock:

[{ Dr | G }]

hey mynameisearl
im not a current student, but i have been accepted. I was initially suppose to attend for the May semester but i defered it to september, so i can await the decisions of NY approval of the university. The universities name is American University of Antigua. I truely belive as you might also if you look on the AUA forum that its made an incredible amount of progress in such a short amount of time. There are problems associated with attending AUA, one being the Twining program, but im guessing that hsould clear up very soon aswell. But yea to answer your question Im thinking about AUA, for september. They have applied for NY approval, and they had a splendid site visit, and if everything goes well we should know this summer wat the future of AUA is interms of NY approval.
Im not trying to advertise AUA, but jus explaining why i have chosen this school, within my already limited choices.
I would highly advice you to do the reasearch and fully understand St Theresa's potential. I have no information about the school. so i cant judge for you, but do the research, because you dont want to be a couple semesters into ur basic science and many thousands in debt, and think "maby its time to transfer". that would jus suck and drain the life out of a person.

Gud luck to you, and gud luck to st theresa.

but i think everyone can agree on one thing, it is an incredible risk, to attend a new and up and comming medical school, especially in the caribbean when there is sooo much competition, more than 20 schools in that area i believe (thats why you really cant disagree with the school bashers on this forum). But its a risk that some of us have brought upon us.


But if you do decide to attend a new school, choose one that has the most potential to become a good school in the future. I dont know if StTheresa has it.. only you would as a current student.

Gud luck to you, and gud luck to st theresa.

Thats for the info!
If u are waiting for over the summer maybe you should also consider
St. Christopher's College of Medicine!
I have heard that it is going to be a amazing school at the end of the summer...and England is a established country...so you know if someoen starts up a medical school there it will be legit

My friend was telling me that he looked under the WHO (or Imed or GMC, I am not sure but they are all people who accredit schools) and Grace and Kigzigi were listed...

these are also schools that opened up in england and are listed...so St Chris cant be bad!

[mynameisearl]

you have got to be kidding me!!! :shock:

I am not kidding!

St. Georges, Ross, Saba, AUA, AUC, MUA Nevis, MUA Belize


all these schools are open and havent shut down!

judging from this post, there is no more need to respond to future posts from you. scary stuff :shock:

seriously though, i dont know what game you are trying to play with that post since you were a student at st chris back as recently as february. are you still a student there? why are you trying to act as if you didnt attend there and are promoting the school. you should be ashamed of yourself.

secondly, you really are the last person people should ask for advice about st theresas because you obviously cant research schools properly after your st chris debacle and continued promotion.

[pruritis_ani]

Ummm....if you really believe this in the face of all that is currently going on, please do your future patients a favor and do not go into medicine. I don't think this is a very good assessment of the current data.

St Chris is not good by any definition. And, FYI, there are plenty of schools that have closed down.

It is very, very foolish to attend any new school, be it AUA or St Theresa's. It is also foolish to attend any school with the history of problems that St Chris has. Basically, if you are considering any school outside of the well established carib schools and some other programs in Europe, Mexico and Australia you run a very high risk of getting a worthless degree. To me, this is not all bad, as I am convinced that the majority of people that attend these type of schools lack the critical thinking skills being a physician requires. In those cases, a useless degree protects the patients...

its not the 70's anymore. back then this was a new business model they have suceeded because first no one knew what to do with them, and second there was no competition. they were able to create a niche, build a rep, and even get grandfathered for federal loans because it was all new.

now there are 30 others doing the same thing, the fsmb recommended that states use an approval system last year and it was an approved measure this month. now all we need to do is wait and see how stringent the implementation will be... will some states make up their own lists, which ones will use Cali...how about NY?

the days of attending any med school that accepts you as long as you "dont care about cali" seem to be coming to an end. it is just insane to attend any school that at thevery least doesn't have NY right now until the dust settles and we know exactly what list each state will use.

once again its not the 70's! things are much different now and going to any start up is riskier than ever...

[{ Dr | G }]

hey man
are u already in st theresa??
u seem to be listing off schools very fast.
St Christopher College of medicine, the one u mentioned, i dont mean to bash this school in any manner, but, it has faced some extroridnary harship within the last couple of months i belive. Again do the research even on this forum. search the st chris forum, ull understand what it went through. it was on the verge of being closed, but it somehow survived by mergeing with mua belize. i have no clue how it is now, but i do know for a fact that they lost allot of students, during there problems (investigation by gmc, disapproval from ecfmg, etc.) but i dont know how they are now.
well here is the list that i can provide for you from what ive encountered.

First and foremost there are the good schools (approved in all 50 states)
SGU(st george), AUC(american university of the caribbean), Ross, Saba

Next are schools that are a fine choice of schools, except that they do not yet have all 50 state acreditations
(SMU, st mathuwes), MUA-Nevis (recently accredited by NY)

Thats as far as i kno, i might have missed.
however the other set of schools are schools that dont have or barely have a track record. but have made significant improvements.
St eustatious, AUA antigua...

hope this helps, and i do encourage you to call up state medical boards, and talk to current students.
take care

[mynameisearl]

the guy was a student there recently. i guess he wants company in a sinking boat. he is playing games here.


I was a student at St Chris last semester...I am not denying it...

the school is having problems and if it last through the semester (meaning it gets ECFMG approved) I think it will be a good school...

Thats what I was saying...
I am not at St Chris anymore I am at St. Teresa

I personally didnt want to waste any time (taking a semester off) to see if St Chris would work out so I decided to transfer to another school...


but I do believe St Chris can be a excellent option for people applying in the fall


But thats neither here nor there...I am currently a student at St. Theresa's

For people checking my past post history I was asking a lot of questions of differnt school boards because I was looking for a place to transfer into

Jesus, St Chris to St. Theresa. Nice resume...

I would really hesitate to take med school advice from somebody who chose these schools....

What games am I playing? I told you the truth...I went from St Chris to St. Theresa...

[drseb]

The posts about St Theresa's are not neccessarily true. As with any new school, they are trying to accomadate the shortage of doctors. Any school or business when they first start will take students, as that is what it is, a business. I encourage students to ge there, if they can not get into mainstream schools.

You can only judge a school once they have had students pass through their boards, then it is fair to start making accusations. If you look at the curriculum it is good.

Do not forget Ross, AUC, St Geroges, St Matthews, etc, all started in a worse stat, and look at them.

I find it very frustrating to see a number of posts on this forum, which frankly deter students from achieving their goal, ultimately to become a doctor.

[Scott1981]

i already see the false advertising on their website. its either that or they are engaged in illegal activities. they list florida and new york as places where students do rotations.

For people checking my past post history I was asking a lot of questions of differnt school boards because I was looking for a place to transfer into

__________________________________________________ _____________
From SCCM to Saint Theresa's...thats a good one Earl....well let me clarify a few things here...You see we only admitted 2 new students this past semester into the Medical program...1 was a transfer from somewhere else...and guess what both these students are females....no SCCM on transcripts. So that cant be you...additionally If you transferred from SCCM to STMU, then that means that you are Medicine not Pharmacy..I have new students this past Semester for pharmacy...but that cant be you either....Are you hiding on my campus under the cafeteria table....So I dont know what your game is, but it does get pretty tiring.. I have no problems with people speaking the truth on this forum...if it hurts the University, then so be it..then the Administration needs to take action to correct things that are legitimate errors or flaws in either cirruculum or what have you. But blatant lies that you have started here serve no purpose other than to confuse people.

Now, as for Clinical Rotations in NY. If anyone has been mislead by what appeared on our website..I take responsibility for not clarifying. STMU is not recognized by NY. But last time i checked, students are allowed to do a maximum 12 weeks rotations with our contracted Hospital group, provided that they are not looking for either a residency or for independent licensure...so last time i looked it was legal......and students are made aware of this prior to any commitment on their part.

So what else Earl...does my cafeteria floor need cleaning?

thats fine for ny. however, i think you should specify it as only limited rotations on your website. you should clarify it on your website so you dont confuse prospective students.

whats the deal with florida? you have them listed as well. st theresas is not approved there. THEREFORE NO CORES CAN BE DONE THERE. if you are unapproved there.....an occasional ELECTIVE rotation is allowed there only after doing a lot of paperwork. occasional means no more than two students a year from the unapproved school and 2 rotations max per student. that is the wording that florida uses. why do you have them listed? that is really misinforming on your website.

http://www.firn.edu/doe/cie/clerkships.htm

you should either specify the deal with new york on your website and should probably take florida out completely.

at the minimum its highly unlikely you signed any contract with any hospital in the state of florida under the terms outlined by the florida doe. secondly, NO CORES ARE ALLOWED THERE for st theresas.

how do you respond to this?

[lovespringseternal]

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to say that I visited the campus, met the faculty, students, saw the facilities and am quite impressed with a new program having such a great infrastructure. Definately going there as the clinical sites are excellent as well. I dont get how people can write anything on here about a place without having visited it in person? desperation i suppose. Peace OuT!

I don't think anyone should choose a school merely based on facilities, faculty and the students. If you do, you may as well on a death road...

ANYONE APPLYING TO ST. THERESA, THINK TWICE OR THRICE....

Here's a perspective. About 6 months ago, I was so disgruntled with my profession, I wanted to believe all THE LIES UHSA IS PUTTING OUT....if they ar eeven there anymore?

A few posters here, Rrod, Maximillian Genosa, Picard were kind, and bold enough to challenge me on the fact that I may pass usmle, may get a residency, but would probably never get a licence. They've been in existence for 10-12 years and they have 2s? licenced grads. Go to their site, they have this list of all thes thank you letters from grads in residency, etc...it's a bunch of you know what. They aren't even listed on Value Md anymore.

YOU WANT SOMETHING SO BAD, YOU CAN BE SELF DECIEVED...BUT THERE ARE HARSH REALITIES OT MEDICAL LICENCING....it's not worth it. Really look inward and ask why you are not willing to put up the work and time to get into a real school (MUA, SABA, Ross, SGU, SMU, maybe!!! ST. Eustiacius, going out on a limb?).


Main point: I used to be where ytou maybe are, or maybe you are just dreaming. There are seirous problems with what you are doing. Trust in a new school is nice, but they should be paying you to go there, so they can establish a track record.

They should update their website, I occasionally go there for comic relief when struggling with classes. It became a joke of "there is always ___ ______"

I mean I have never heard of a medical school shutting down before...why would this one![/QUOTE]

Uhhhh, I suggest you do more research on that statement!!!! I have heard too many horror stories, from real people, about carrib schools closing and not refunding anyone!!! What's worse, the time you wasted there can never be replaced!!!!

Very interesting...thanks for the warning.

What do you mean closed? I don't think this place is closed.

no offense to img or any others but i come on here every once in a while...i have been coming on valuemd for about a year now, its a great place but...i think some people have lost total credibility with respect to judging these schools. i remember a certain someone saying these exact same things about a small start-up medical school called AUA (american university of antigua which was maybe 2 years old). the person went through the trouble of getting the worst angle pics, saying untrue things, etc. now aua is no ross or st georges, but they have ny approval, are growing, and is definately no scam. just fyi for those that might buy into what some people post on here...i am also not stating that the school is great or is/isnt a scam, just stating that the truth can only come from your eyes only.

I was referring to Earl or whoever saying that they had never heard of a med school closing... I was just saying that there are, unfortunately, many that have closed! My parents went to a med school in DR that closed (luckily many years after they graduated), but some students are not so lucky. Some schools in England closed there doors with NO warning. Students were literally standing outside the school wondering what the heck happened.. My point is, we are all taking a chance by going to a carib school. You never know what could happen.. But if you really want to do this doctor thing, it completely worth any chance we have to take (and sacrifice for that matter)!!!

:p

As with any new school, they are trying to accomadate the shortage of doctors.

Are we talking about a shortage of doctors in the states?? Last I heard, there is no shortage of docs in the states. Which is why only 55% or so of IMGs are matching there first try (I presume and hope this is not including the scramble)

sorry a little off topic

[ut_cougar]

there is a shortage of physicians in absolute numbers...which is why pretty much 100% of applicable acceptable medical grads from international sources and domestic could technically find spots somewhere in the 50 states..there are other things that are involved which is the reason for the shortage...in other words lets say our countries goal is to have 300,000 active practicing physicians in the US concurrently, while there are currently only 250,000 active practicing physicians...get it? the numbers are just for show..

[bobpick]

what state boards were contacted, what national organizations have implemented blackballing STMU and what concrete evidence existst that this school is a scam?
