seriously- this forum has been at times a source of entertainment- but this is sooooo not right- the current students at cmu are being duped and have spent there time and money on something that is WORTHLESS and any prospective student- those 32 that RL says are coming should know this info!! Personally I think the gov't of curacao should be told about this as well- this is NOT the image that they should want for their country- a harbor for a bogus medical school.
Nope, their "charter" is the letter from the government asking that they please follow certain protocols and comply with certain regulations.

ok, i'm no lawyer, but this really isn't anything. first of all, there is NO charter listed on the website. there is a charter of CIU, as stated listing a bunch of different programs granting CIU to grant "Degree of Doctor". this translates into PhD. i say this because if you read St. Martinus' charter also granted on the same island, the charter states granting degrees of "Doctor of Medicine" obviously MD.

the second letter in there is just a letter stating, "oh ok, great that you're staring a medical school." if CMU is really hoping have no problems with their students practicing in US, then this issue needs to be resolved. i really hope potential students are informed about all of these issues before choosing a school like this. besides, there are already schools with NY-approval that are easy enough to get in as it is.

ok so RL and the cmu admin seems to know WHAT a charter looks like by posting CIU's charter, so then where is the piece of paper that looks like the CIU charter that says CMU and giving the right to grant the the Doctor of MEDICINE degree??

Let's just be grateful they're not putting a fake one up.

Five bucks says the CMU website will soon post a copy of the St. Martinus charter - and forget to change the school name

I have recently declared my house it's own country. My kids are drawing currency and stamps as we speak. For the right price, I can get them to draw you a charter. You can establish your school anywhere you want, just not in my basement, it will interrupt my gaming and guitar playing. G

Hey, at least we know any medical school that opens up at your place will have it's own arcade/PC cafe and live music.
