I respond where and when I can. Some things are better answered by students.

If you want more info about why MCI has an issue with KMC I suggest doing what I did: research it. Or you can take the benefit of my research and see what I wrote.

I am definitely taking advantage of what you are saying, but student's are keeping on posting about you. I did as much research as possible. I engulfed the World Wide Web in my system, its only a matter of clarifying thats all. I've received two PM's from other students who have clarified what the real deal is. Thankfully, there is nothing to worry about now. Hooray! Now its only a matter of a few questions that I will post later. - Cheers!, Thanks Tipton.

Exclamation Re: Aua Kmc

So, what would be stated on the diploma of the student ?
AUA or KMC ? or both ? and how will that work in Cali, since KMC I believe is listed as approved, and AUA is NOT approved in CA.

KMCIC students become AUA students ("transfer") when they return to the US for 5th Semester and graduate from AUA.

it would not work in cali. all medical school work would have to be completed in a cali approved school. this includes clinicals, but you would be at aua doing clinicals.

No. KMCIC is a US-modeled MD program. MCI "recognizes" Indian MBBS programs.

Coolaid, Anyword from ECFMG? I think you have valid doubts and it should be clarified before KMCIC's students come to the real world of USA medical field and face more problems for getting into residency and hospitals.

BTW, Tipton, How many intakes of students AUA and KMCIC together have every year....

now it will probably not matter for taking the usmle and getting ecgm certified because they are probably just using AUA transcripts it may not come up for residency liocensure and may not even come up in full licensure initially because the fact that a student did basic science in india wil be so burried below usmle scores, rotations, etc that it will probably get by many state boards but eventually it will be reaised and is likely to blow up in the students face..the school already got paid, they got you a degree they could care less....but this has a very bad potential to bite you in the back side unless all angles are cleared with the boards

There are lots of students who transfer between medical schools, so what is the big deal if some completes part of it one school and finsihes in another
