Overseas degree no guarantee to practise medicine, licensing group warns (http://news.top100.biz/health/Overseas-degree-no-guarantee-to-practise-medicine-licensing-group-warns/)

Solid advice in this case... there are a bunch of red flags.

1) There is an agency involved... and they have a shady-looking advertisement with a "call 24/7" hotline. Somehow, the smiling girl in the white coat with a stethoscope doesn't quite overcome the general crappy quality of the ad. Go figure.
2) They offer a 4-year medical program for HS grads without a college/university degree, and no MCAT. (International programs for HS grads are usually 6 years.)
3) The English in the advertisement is... um... "choppy" at best.
4) What the **** is "U.S.(MLE) Canada eligible" supposed to mean?

Wow. I am amazed that they would get any calls at all, but I guess there is one born every minute. Shady times twelve.
