Congratulations

[MDbonaire07]

The charter was signed by the Governor of Curacao today. I just talked to the Administration and they informed my about it. I also called the Government of Curacao and they confirmed the CMU charter was issued today. They said they would provide the original to the school Monday morning. If some agents still don’t believe than wait till Monday and call the Office of the Governor.
It seems like everyone there is celebrating. The SGA organized a party tonight.
SO NOW WHAT DO ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO BASHED CMU HAVE TO SAY?
Mrs. Rokshana: "I'll bet you a shiny EC that they don't get it!!!"
Where is my shiny EC now?

Congratulations again and keep up the good work!!!!!

[IMG SURVIVOR]

I do not understand, today was the day to appear in IMED listing right?
So that means that in theory they already had what they got today, or I'm missing something here?

I say that since the charter was signed today, your course work up until this point will not count. This has been an issue in the past, and it is the way the ECFMG, and state licensing boards look at such issues. Now what about WHO/IMED? I don't expect that to happen overnight, but the fact that IMED listing was promised today, and we get the charter signed is somewhat disconcerting to me. The school started classes prematurely. Please fill me in if there is something I'm missing. G

[stateofequilibrium]

If Rokshana is an agent, what benefit would SGU get from slamming CMU? Despite having all the legal reasons to for CMU for stealing their wesbite?

Secondly, hoorah. I am glad, this is a good thing for the incoming students.

Thirdly, boo. How does this affect current students finishing this semester if they were taking classes without a charter or who/imed recognition?

Fourth, if they just got their charter today, when is WHO/IMED coming around?

Fifth, by just getting a charter, does that prove anything about the quality and previous statements about their credibility as compared to what they advertise on their website to what they currently or at the time possess?

There was no promise of IMED/WHO listing for today. If Im wrong please provide a post that shows this promise.
Second, the IMED/WHO listing is now just a matter of weeks since the most important document /charter/ was signed today and those 2 organization have to list CMU among other caribbean medical schools.

Oh good, then if it's going to take weeks to get IMED/WHO, can you tell your IT people to change the website to reflect that you are EXPECTING the listing, and do not currently possess it? Thanks.

I find that funny, that you're saying that they have to finish merging their databases, meaning that everything was already finished and settled two months ago for listing.

As I stated in the previous posts, the situation has been clarified now and within one week we'll post official documents confirming our listing with those two agencies."

Is this because you DIDN'T HAVE A CHARTER? And I think this is where you promised CONFIRMATION of your listing "WITH THOSE TWO AGENCIES"

I am probably mistaken about the IMED. In the past, date of Charter has been important to both the ECFMG, and state licensing boards. ANy coursework done prior to the date of charter hasn't counted. St. Christopher's is an example of that. IMED is not so important, now that you have a charter, since they do nothing to investigate/accredit schools, they simply list schools with a valid charter. So, I think that one is in the bank. Is the charter effective some date other than today? Congrats on getting the charter. I am still concerned about the students that have already started, and their potential problems sitting for the boards and getting licensed because of the date of matriculation/date of charter discrepancy.

Please know I have no vested interest in any school. I don't get paid by any school. I am interested in seeing that people who are following the same path I followed get the opportunities they expect when they sign on the dotted line. G

[stateofequilibrium]

They changed one part of it, good. But that requires the average student to carefully look at a seperate page. Not the main page About CMU where it still proudly proclaims it is in posession of it.

Actually, everyone assumed you had the charter since the school was open and running. If you read Roks posts, you will see that she specifically refers to IMED listings. You guys better call ECFMG and make sure you don't have to re-take your semester. I have a sneaking suspicion there may be an issue if anyone looks at this closely...and they do look at things closely. G

OK, so why did you get a charter today? Have there been any examples of other schools operating under a charter from someplace else? This is like law....well, not really LIKE since it IS a legal discussion. There needs to be precedent. If there is none, then what happens is simply a matter of conjecture until the waters are tested. I would not want to be one of the guinea pigs. G

that's fine, then take it off of this page. all any potential student has to do is go to the "About CMU" page and look - according to that, they have IMED/WHO. someone shouldn't have to search around a website to find one page saying "ohh look, we do have it!" and another page saying "ohh well, yeah we kinda don't have it".

Will they be able to take the USMLE?

It's a good idea. To the naive student who believes everything they read, they'll be satisfied with just that page. And in case anyone now brings some kind of legal trouble (people who signed up before can probably show archived material where it does not have this), they can say, "But look, we did mention it here."

I think the flaw here is that CIU is not qualified to teach MD level courses. If they were why would you even bother with getting the charter at all? And why isnt CIU listed with IMED/WHO?


Quite frankly, I dont think there were too many students attending the MD program this semester. How many were there left? 3?

All CMU has to do is allow the current students to 'repeat' the courses again in September. This way their transcript will show courses taken when the school has its charter. Ah, there are ways around it. I'll bet though any licensing officials monitoring this forum will note this, maybe?



(The bet is for 1 cent ZWD.)
('repeat' could be just faking it in some way)

what false promises? I stand by everything i have said about this so called school- it may have a charter- but that blank piece of paper on CMU's own website shows, what? its written in invisible ink? I need special decoder glasses? PLEASE show me the charter!!

and now RL is sayin- what IMED listing? Where IMED listing? I didn't say nuthin about no IMED lisiting?!! and i don't have to go search for the threads where he has promised about IMED listing- SOE and others have done quite a nice job.

I feel bad for those students who are still there- because unfortunately i think you are going to be in the same predicament as those poor st chris students one day, but they, bless there hearts, didn't have this much info- those of you who are NOW looking into this school, hear all this, and STILL go here- its your own darn fault.

And Ultron- that open house was probably cancelled for a reason- they KNEW they would have to face questions about this and didn't wanna face up to it.

You brought up a good point Teratos: transperancy. In today's information age with access to all sorts of information no more than a few keystrokes away, for almost any global enterprise such as an international medical school to succeed, REQUIRES a level of transperancy and dare I say, honesty.

Maybe in the old days when SGU, Ross, and AUC started up they could feasibly get away with a lot of false promises and advertisements if they wanted to. There would be very few who would take the time to dial up, stay on hold, and converse with various officials and agencies, let alone phone up and meet with other prospective students from all over the globe to share the information with. Today however, information is shared rapidly, and attempts at double-talk, double-backs, and deceit are readily spotted and pounced upon.

It is much better to maintain open honesty in the face of how easy it is to get the truth to anyone that is willing to do half a minute's worth of searching. People are willing to give the benefit of time for a new school, that it may be a viable alternative for SOME, and that if handled right could grow into a good school. Look at AUA, many looked at it with suspicion at first, but it's turning out to be a real contender. Unfortunately, CMU has chosen a less than reputable track. I hope this changes for the sake of your students.

If any of what's been happening happened in a US Medical school, it would have definitely ended up in the media. The unfortunate thing, for the Caribbean, it's business as usual.

I guess we need to get back to congratulating CMU on all their accomplishments (the topic of the thread). :roll:

[DrShikima]

stay on topic please.

You realize that non-CMU'ers are posting on here, right? Where are the other cheerleaders? Did SMU snatch them up for their basketball cheer squad?

[dt]

Well, we can congratulate CMU for having CS Student-Preceptor Ratio of 0.03 - 1. What does that work out to in actual live whole bodies? 3 students to 100 perceptors? Does this mean they have 3 clinical students? Or, 9 students since they have 327 sites? I dont recall any CMU person bragging about that.

Anyone else notice that in their "charter," the first page the letter of intent: It is stamped 4/07/07 but the letter is dated June 07? Not to mention that it says it will start offering undergraduate coursework in MAY?

[diogenes]

Yes, I saw that. Moderately interesting that Undergraduate was in bold, Was the issue of a med. school so vexatious and problematic that he had to make it doubly clear he wasn't talking about M.D. degrees?
Regarding the dates, I think this reflects the difference between American and European date format. So the letter was written on "June 30th" and date stamped by a receiving govt. official on 4th July (or July 4th:)).

Oh, you're right. Totally forgot about the European vs US date thing :( Either way though, June and May don't add up still

[diogenes]

Yes it seems to be yet another example of RL's penchant for working retrospectively; possibly in a great panic too!

[MDXRS22]

This is really a mess! Did they forget that there are some smart people out there, and they will take their time to read every single line and detail. I just read the posted documents, to tell the truth, it's like they were copied from and older document, and they did not even care to rectify the dates, from 2007, 2001 and beyond. This is silly and sillier:)

[stephew]

smart or at least very obsessive. which isnt a bad trait in a doc.

[MDXRS22]

Right on the money:):):) we are really obsessed with details:)

[stephew]

that's why military folk oftem make excellent doctors. They just do it and get it done right as per training.

Just like a certain "medical school" that is trying to open up in Southern California? :D:D:D:D

* why is that name of that school censored?
