This must be the worst forum EVER

My gosh
This forum is deader than...well, i invite comparisons here...Yoko Ono's musical career?
Are there NO students anymore at IUHS? Is the school closed down? Does the school employ superhackers to delete all posts immediately?
Maybe Windsor and IUHS could get together and form one large crappy school instead of two smaller ones...

lets spice up this forum with some oldie goldies then

Ok then lets spice up this forum with some stuff I copied from http://www.network54.com/Hide/Forum/...=1064847159--- I find it very interesting, because it cant be denied that this correspondence is genuine. It really shows that there are dishonest folk at this school.



I must share this note that some one who saw your post has sent me. it came from someone who claims to be a prospective medical student, who led DR Neame down the garden path. Take the time to read it, its really funny at least to me, because NEAME SAYS THAT THE SPREADSHEET IS GENUINE!


This post will teach Neame that he is not the only one who sends BCC emails. All of you IUHS or ex IUHS students know about Neame and his BCC emails sent to the IUHS hierachy and to Michael & the Archangels. Now this girl beat him at his own game.

Dear Dr Neame,

I was just about ready to apply for the next class admission when my cousin on the State Medical Board for South XXXXX
sent me this. Is this really true Sir? Who is JB Fletcher? I am all confused now.

HOW IUHS fools ECFMG?

For months folk have been wondering how IUHS can relate its silly cases [which dont properly relate the Basic Sciences to the ECFMG objectives]to proper courses in Anatomy, Physiology, etc

Well I have a quotation - given below from one involved in setting up the process which explains it. "While employed at IUHS office in Bonita Springs, FL, I was assigned the task in the spring of 2001 of "converting" the PBL curriculum into "hours" or "semester hours" for the transcript format........... [EDITED BY FORUM MODERATOR] my instructions were to make a careful survey of each of the individual, PBL, weekly cases and to estimate the hours of required readings within each, typical Basic Science catagory--Pathology, Histology, etc. I spent several months going
through the readings and downloads of each weekly case to estimate hours of reading, online "lectures" and the like. I took the assignment very seriously,as did Dr. Neame."

Dear Gini or Jennifer Jacobs,

IUHS has never employed anyone by the name of J B Fletcher at any time.

IUHS never had an office in Florida at Bonita Springs, although there was a service company that IUHS did use for a short time called MD Education which did have offices there - these were closed 2 years or so ago to the best of my knowledge.
IUHS does indeed use problem-based learning for its study program, and it is currently achieving around 80% scores on average at USMLE step 1 so you would have to wonder how these scores are achieved by students who according to your correspondent JB Fletcher never study the basic sciences at all - because USMLE step 1 is ALL ABOUT the basic sciences.

Of course students study basic sciences in IUHS - how stupid would we be if we sent students to USMLE step 1 without being prepared in the basic sciences! We would not be accredited by the government of St Kitts and Nevis, nor listed by the World Health Organisation as a recognised medical school either! I suggest that you ask your cousin on the State Medical Board for South XXXXX to use a little logic and scientific method and not to rely on such absurdities as have
apparently been manufactured for him by JB Fletcher!

I would be more than happy to outline to him and to the South XXXXXX Medical Baord the precise structure of the medical studies program and where every element of each of the basic sciences is addressed in the
program.

I hope that this helps

Hi Dr Neame,
Thanks for your note.I wont bother you again after this, since it is clear that EVIL PREVAILS IN OUR TIME! REmoving the 10 commandments, gay bishops,and rip off med schools!

I know that IUHS has never employed anyone by the name of J B Fletcher at any time. J B Fletcher is probably the lady in MURDER SHE WROTE. I know that IUHS never had an office in Florida at Bonita Springs, and that there was a service company that IUHS did use for a short time called MD Education which did have offices there - and that these were closed 2
years or so ago to the best of my knowledge.

The quotation in the note was written by one of the ex employees of your MD Education office in Florida at Bonita Springs. This note was in corroboration of a note written by another of your ex employees. Apparently also, it has been sent to the President of AMA, ECFMG, all the Secretary of State offices, and all the Medical boards, along with the transcript
template that you said was an apparent manufactured absurdity. This template was sent to me by a former employee of yours involved in the manufacture- two witnesses have corroborated what indeed is a manufacture, because I am reliably informed that the issuers in the template are not addressed in the cases as taught- and everyone knows it.

When you say that your students are currently achieving around 80% scores on average at USMLE step 1 - you mean that after failing once or twice they get 80% following a Kaplan course-certainly not that 80% are passing as your ex students can be found at other schools and in Kaplan courses. Accredited by the government of St Kitts and Nevis means nothing. My
resaerch reveals that this banana republic is a haven for money launderers and charlatans like IUHS. You know full well that being listed by the World Health Organisation as a recognised medical school is another joke.There are three such schools in St Kitts- the highest for any Carribean country. That is significant is it not?

Thank you for the note..

Actually I did not say that the spreadsheet format was manufactured - it looks to be genuine, but I do not have the time to compare with an original from that time period. I noticed that it had been extensive annotated by one XXXXXXXXXXX who was indeed a member of staff of IUHS about 2 years ago. However he was never employed by MD Education nor did he work in Bonita Springs as far as I know.

The other attachment containing names of sessions might also have been from the campus program - I have no idea. Of course the session names are quite meaningless on their own - it is the content that matters - and of course the main content of these sessions is applied basic sciences - but it is indeed applied to the clinical scenarios that we are addressing.

I note your comments about St Kitts and Nevis - which I would not think the government would agree with. And your comments about IUHS also ... But then you are not interested in facts.

Good Day

Dear Dr Neame

I am hoping to apply for registrationat IUHS soon . My parents have business and lodgings in London. I wonder if it would be better to attend the affiliate school in London or go to the campus in ST Kitts.

I understand that the St Kitts campus is very small, and is getting very congested as you are expanding so much recently. Is this so?

Please kindly give me your honest opinion of safety on the island, the campus program, and the likely numbers there. This information is a great concern to my parents.


I also understand that you have a distant program as well online. I am sure that they would prefer that I enrol in this program. How many students are in this program? Do they interact a lot? Studying alone can be a problem for me. I need the stimulation of other students.

Please write soon and help me make a decision on this issue.

Sinverely,

Dear Gini Jacobs

Thank you for your note.

The St Kitts campus is not congested - we have expanded a lot but for the most part this has been for online and not oncampus students. St Kitts is a quiet and pleasant enbough island, but like London there is
crime - probably rather less in St Kitts, but nowhere is a paradise.

You could contact the London Medical College and discuss with Dr Mvenge if you would like - he (and the St Kitts campus) both have classes starting at the end of August. Dr Jeffries Mvenge is (jmvenge@hotmail.com).

Please do let me k now if you would likkle any further guidance. You would need to contact the admissions office quite soon of you want to start in August - admissions@iuhs.edu

Normally this would be a good thing, but he writes the tests, which are a complete joke in every respect. They don't cover the reading material and are almost entirely clinically oriented. They most certainly do NOT reflect USMLE type material. However, if you brownnose him, he will give you some of the questions. He loves to have his ego stroked. It is hilarious to sit in class and watch these people suck up to him, and then talk to them and hear that they really think the guy is lower than a slug.

Dr Holmes is an immunologist, and is good at teaching that subject. But - he tries to teach everything. It doesn't work.

YOU REALLY MUST READ THIS ONE ON IUHS
by copier (no login)
Here was my correspondence with IUHS Admissions before figuring out that IUHS is a scam, or at least a dubious medical school. I hope that these postings help make others prospective students think before chunking any change down. Feel free to contact me on AIM with my forum name.

E-Mail 1:
April,

I’ve read some rather disconcerting things online lately. There are people out there that claim that IUHS is only a single house on the island. They claim that the library is only “2 shelves”. I find both of these hard to believe. These same people also claim that Kentucky is the only state in which IUHS grads can get licensure. This is know to be false, since I’ve checked into it and I know that IUHS grads can get licensure everywhere in the United States. I can’t check into the other two claims. I’ve also read that the faculty consists of two professors that have very limited teaching abilities and several visiting physicians. I also find these claims to be hard to believe. IUHS has obviously met the WHO standards for being a listed medical school. Also, IUHS has met the standards of ECFMG. I also believe what the IUHS administration has posted in response to these accusations. Namely, that the people making them are representatives of other schools trying to scare people away from IUHS.

I need some reassurance that the school that I’ve chosen to attend for four years is what I believe it to be. I’ve talked with you twice in the past about getting pictures of the facilities, as there are none listed online. Please quickly forward these to me. I want to see what the facilities look like. I also would like to know where current grads are in practice/residencies. Please also forward this email to the president of the student association. I would like to speak with him or her about his or her experiences with IUHS. I want to hear that IUHS is a good school; the school that I believe it is. I do plan on visiting campus this summer, to begin getting the process of my relocation going. Let me know if you can be of any help with planning my visit.

Response to E-mail 1:
The visit is always the best suggestion…….so that is what I suggest.
Whatever you discover is the case, I will be happy to let you know that the last student who was a “campus” student from day one, just sat the USMLE(1) and she was a regular BSc student from Canada…….her score…84%!!!

E-mail 2:
April,
Thanks for the update. I also understand that one of your on-campus classes in 2002 had all six members pass with an average score of 88. I do truly believe that I’ll do well on the USMLE, but I’m concerned about licensure. I know that Indiana is no longer licensing graduates of IUHS. (http://www.in.gov/hpb/boards/mlbi/instinfo.html) I’m just wondering why that is! If the grads do well on the USMLE, as they are, why are they not licensing them? I’m still doing some looking around, and I’ll get back to you with what I find. Also, you’ll be interested to know that Ohio State University College of Medicine is also using eLP for some of their Basic Sciences now too! I’ve read several pieces of Dr. Neame’s works, and thus far I’m impressed. I know that IUHS has a good philosophy.
I’m obviously concerned as to what is going on that is making Indiana anxious, and also making these websites devote so much time to bashing IUHS. None of the other Caribbean schools are getting this kind of negative image posted so much.
If you could answer several questions for me:
1. Who are the on-campus faculty?
2. What are the on-campus facilities like?
3. What is the status of the campus expansion project that was discussed with the St. Kitts government last year?
4. How often are lectures held?
5. How many students are in the on-campus program?
6. Where are current Clinical Science students in rotations?
7. Where are current grads in residencies/practice?
Thanks, and please do forward some pictures for me.

Response to E-mail 2:
I do understand your various concerns and over the last two years have tried to keep you informed and reassured.
There comes a point in time when the decision making has to have a reasonable level of confidence. I believe you may always have doubts and should you run into a “rough” spot during your medical studies, you would have a difficult time maintaining support for your own past decisions. Medical school is a long, rough road and requires unwavering dedication to both your studies, professors and the institution as a whole.
I would therefore recommend that you apply to a local medical school which hopefully will offer you the reassurance and past history that you are seeking.

Conclusion:
The admissions department basically blew me off when I called them out. I had already been admitted, and was actually planning on going to IUHS. I began asking questions when my repeated requests for pictures of campus went unanswered, or were answered with USMLE pass rates.

When an admissions department will not answer straightforward, relevant questions, I become concerned.

Also, I encourage any prospective students to go online, to Google, Yahoo! whatever. Search for IUHS and International University of the Health Sciences. See how many people you can find that are in residency or practice. NONE. Then type in any other reputable medical school and see the difference. That simple test was what made me withdraw my admittance.

Bottom Line:
Do your research before you get burned. Ask the questions to the admissions department directly, or to one of the professors. The most important thing is to do a site visit. Go with your gut. Going $200,000 into debt and then finding out you can't get licensed is the wrong way to become a doctor.

Hope this helps,

I need some ideas.

I am going to put a few students on our web sites that have been successful from 4rth year to 1st year. I also want to promote the IUHS student who is senior attending at Finch in Chicago.

So pleae come up with some ideas and get back to me. Charles

Please write directly to Charles Hunley, charlesthehun@hotmail.com


I really want to see what lies he will tell about our bogus internet school. Common sense should tell him that he is only setting us up for more bad publicity. People out there will tear his nonsense to threads as they have done in the past. Really think that a few STEP 1 passes this year makes us a school? Considering that the main teacher we had to make this possible has left us? The teachers dont stay long, and now the students leaving too. WHAT A LAFF!

IUHS and Universal Empire
by Ex-UniversalEmpire Ex-UniversalEmpire (Login Ex-UniversalEmpire)
I have been attending Universal Empire, an affiliate of IUHS, for the last three weeks now. Let me just say that I wish I had done my research before I came here. Universal Empire has branches in three different countries, and I am in Cochin, India right now. I have decided to leave here and return back to Texas! I cannot believe that I made this decision. IUHS is a scam. They want your money, and once they get it your in trouble. You will not get a good education. Worst of all, I was lied to by the faculty and the OWNERS of the school. Do not let anyone you know attend either Universal Empire or IUHS. Please pass this word along and post it wherever you get a chance. A stay on admissions for Universal Empire has been filed in the Indian High Court. What kind of school has a stay on admissions? The school is the size of my house. The library has three bookshelves. There are like 10 faculty members. School is a load of CRAP!

This was a newspaper article printed in all the newspapers in South India about Universal Empire and its affiliation with IUHS. This was printed in THE HINDU on Saturday October 4th, 2003.....

Restraint on Conducting Courses

The Kerala High Court today restrained the Universal Empire Institue of Medical Sciences, a Kochi-Based private insitution, from admitting any student for its medical and dental courses unless the insitution is recognized my the Medical Council of India or Dental Council of India as the case may be, or the degrees awarded by the university to which it is affiliated are treated on par with the degrees awarded by the Indian universities.
Justice C.N. Ramachandran Nair issued the directive on a writ petition filed by P.C. Sunil, secretray, Indian Dental Association, Kerala branch and another doctor.
The petitioners said that the institution was conducting MBBS, MD and MS courses without obtaining approval from statutory bodies lke the Medical Council of India and Dental Council of India.
The petitioners claimed that the institution had been affiliated to the International University of Health Sciences, Government of St. Christopher and Nevi, West Indies. They wanted the court to prohibit the functioning of the institution.

If a student is in an electronic program, such as the distant learning
program of IUHS (International University of the Health Sciences) located in
St Kitts, which offers distant learning via chat rooms.
I have heard that such graduates can not be registered in the United
States. Is this true? Can they be registered in Georgia?
I appreciate your assistance in obtaining this information.

I would say that is correct as a medical student cannot only participate
in strictly an electronic program to meet the standards required
. The
school would have to be recognized by the ECFMG and listed in the WHO
directory before we or anyone else in the U.S. would even consider it an
appropriate training program.

We certainly hope that this has helped parents of prospective IUHS elp students, and that this helps IUHS to its poor services. After all we do love IUHS and its different deviants, don’t we now?

Yoko Ono had a hit?

Ok, that stuns me....shocking, in fact...thought she was more like 105 years old....
As for the other lengthy posts...interesting reads, but let's shorten them down a tad, shall we?
I'm convinced that Yoko killed JFK to pave the way for the Beatles...maybe she could teach at IUHS

Yoko is still slinky in an eccentric way...maybe she could drive you around St. Kitts?
