It's been always known that it looks bad transferring from one caribbean school to another.....but now.....ECFMG has changed it's policy and adds more hurdles for transfer students.
Just Imagine transferring from a shut down school (St.Chris) and transferring into Ross.
New Policy Below:
IMPORTANT NOTICE ON NEW RESTRICTIONS FOR TRANSFERRED ACADEMIC CREDITS
One of the medical education credential requirements for ECFMG
Certification is that an international medical graduate must have had at
least four credit years (academic years for which credit has been given
toward completion of the medical curriculum) in attendance at a medical
school that is listed in the International Medical Education Directory
(IMED). A change to ECFMG's medical education credentials policy will
restrict transfer credits that may be used to meet this requirement.
This change will affect credits earned on or after January 1, 2008, that
are transferred to the medical school that issued or will issue an
applicant's medical degree.
