Per IMED/Faimer, if you are an FMG:

"A medical school is listed in IMED after FAIMER receives confirmation from the Ministry of Health or other appropriate agency that the medical school is recognized by the Ministry or other agency. FAIMER also updates the International Medical Education Directory as information about medical schools is received from Ministries of Health or other appropriate agencies."

IMED - FAIMER International Medical Education Directory

Students who have transferred out of CMU and have applied to other medical students have all been told that the classes and "credits" awarded by CMU do not count and are NOT accepted.

He'll get his crack legal team to look into that, right after they get done handing out (not-so) veiled legal threats. But they might have some free time shortly, as soon as they realize it probably would not be a good idea to have CMU's business practices examined in court...

Thats what the Government is working on now.

"Students who have transferred out of CMU and have applied to other medical students have all been told that the classes and "credits" awarded by CMU do not count and are NOT accepted."

Thats not a proof that the clases wont count. Try to transfer to SGU and ask them if they will accept credits from other caribbean medical schools. They will tell you the same story.

I apologize and stand corrected. The classes will count, but the credits will NOT.

I suggest that the CMU admins to respond to the original post, rather than to go after Dru or rokshana or anyone else here. Many of those allegations are serious, though not entirely unexpected given what we've seen here over the last couple months.

You just quoted yourself, by the way.

CMU boggles the mind totally

It boggles the mind that the CMU President can not understand that it is required to obtain a charter and be IMED listed BEFORE opening the doors of a med school.


It boggles the mind that prospective students would listen to anyone that tells them what they want to hear so that they can attend any bogus medical school that opens.

It boggles the mind that a person who was promoted to Dean of a true medical school that has struggled to do the right thing and to correct itself when challenged, would defect to a dump where the leadership does not know its right hand from the left (in other words they act like little children in both word and deed).

We have a right to see that this bogus school does not succeed.

I’m surprised [edited for insults/flames]?
"For the purpose of ECFMG Certification, transferred academic credits earned on or after January 1, 2008, are restricted to:
Credits transferred from one IMED-listed medical school to another IMED-listed medical school.
Credits for courses taken at one medical school within seven years of the date of graduation at the medical school that accepts the transferred courses.
Credits for courses that were passed at the medical school at which the course was taken."
