Does SABA accept transfer students and what is the minimum time required to stay[transfer into clinicals], I am already an MD,Licensed,board certified[IM,GI],clean perfect records ,CA is not important to me but going to unapproved CA school these days is unacceptable [because first many states using CA as reference,and second it does not look good if you tell people my school unapproved in CA].

Saba does accept transfer students. Their policies are on www.saba.edu.
But I don't think that will solve your problem of having gone to a non-CA approved school....I think transferring to clinicals at Saba from a non-CA approved school will make no difference regarding licensure.
Starting all over as a new student would do the trick....not fun.
If you are already licensed and board certified, you already have what everybody here wants in at least one state...

Thanks wolf for your reply,I know transfering to approved school will not solve the problem but my issue is I will be a graduate from school that is approved[the physicians list on hospital website will list SABA..etc],believe me it makes huge difference to be grad of approved schools.my openion is it will be big mistake for anyone who attend unapproved schools.

I hope it works out for you, but won't you have to provide transcripts to the state medical board of all medical schools you have attended? (I'm assuming you want to get licensed in a state that uses CA's approved school list.)
Wouldn't non-disclosure of attendance at a non-approved school be considered misleading by the state medical board?
I'm just playing devil's advocate here....don't shoot! :D
