When we finalize the IMED listing and get stronger relationship with the hospitals, I will reveal the names.

If you still dont believe, wait till more of our students start the clinicals and you would be able to contact them to confirm.

I appreciate the effort. There is no way to verify any of this, but at least its an answer. I doubt you would lose a contract because people wanted to ask questions. People call med. ed offcies at hospitals all the time with questions. I am very interested to see how the miami,fl rotation works. Time will tell if this is another tactic to stop all the questions and "black PR".

i highly doubt that names need to be removed because other schools will swoop in. if you have a contract, its fixed. if they are real acgme accreditated rotations, the information will be out there anyway as student rotate through. you can't (and why would you want to) keep where students are doing rotations secret. I am therefore skeptical about the claim or at least the rationale. same with the notion of losing clinicals because "Students kept calling them". did you sign a contract? Then you've got no worries. the hospitals are as bound to honor it legally. And it again is a very odd rationale that a hosptial would cancel rotations because students kept calling about it.

It may be a short term contract (with option for renewal?). the site may not want to renew if they perceive the school as troublesome.

RL, could you list the clinical sites outside of USA. Any in Canada? Where in the UK? Any other countries?

short term as in existing and expiring before students even enter the doors? A clarification about the nature of the contract might help.

Its time to stop the games.
Either you actually list the hospitals (my esteemed colleagues have already shown there is no reason to keep the list a secret.) or we can assume that the list is a figment of your imagination.

My guess is that no decent hospital would be so reckless as to let a non accredited & unrecognized medical school use their hospital asa a clinical training site. You may have preceptors who are willing to take money to let a guy shadow them. (you might want to do a search on how well this worked out for GMC in Atlanta), but that is not a greenbook rotation.

We are all pretty well versed in this stuff, we deal with it everyday. I am guessing that the AUC,Ross, and SGU guys in the 70's would be proud of the great rotations we have today. It took 30 years of hard work and outstanding grads to get us in, but you pulled it off in a few months!

You wont give us the list because you know we will check with those hospitals, and you will be caught in another deception.

Once again, I hope I am dead wrong, but I doubt it.

BTW you are still listing Penn and NJ as training sites. Just scroll down to the bottom, under US facilities. Here is the link.

CMU | Caribbean Medical University - Campus and Facilities

You also claim that CMU grads are "fully eligible to participate in residency training and licensure in the United Staes" Here is the link.

CMU | Caribbean Medical University - Academics - Residency Program

But, without IMED you cant enter residency, and certainly get get licensced anywhere. You may be in the process of getting it, but you cant claim it right now. Its a lie.

You also claim to be part of AMSA. Here is the link
CMU | Caribbean Medical University - Life @ CMU - Student Organizations
But a quick check of international med schools where there are AMSA chapters shows that you arent on the list. Dont beleive me? here is another link.

AMSA International Medical Schools

Try again RL, still tons of deception on your website.

These are elective rotations done through our preceptors. There are no contracts with hospitals in those states.

Then why are they listed under "affiliated hospitals"? Also, why do you STILL claim PA and NJ rotations. And..are you affiliaited with AMSA. I am sure you will ignore me. I tend to ask questions you dont want to answer.
