You just said it, you don't believe grads will be able to get licensed. Your beliefs, not facts. They can get licensed, in maybe limited places but they can. I have been in this kind of business hearing similar arguments maybe for as long as you have been born. Do more research on the subject, objective research and you will find that in fact they can get licensed.

Thanks

By the way, I am not an IUHS fan nor I endorse them, I am just a little bit more objective (or at least try to) than the average user in this website.

Actually, Drexel University College of Medicine runs a Summer Biochemistry Course by Distance Education over the internet and it is posted on the AAMC website. It is a remedial course that must be approved by your current US or Canadian medical school but most schools still do approve. Also West Virginia University School of Medicine runs two summer remedial courses via Distance Education on the internet. The courses are Pathology and Pharmacology. Here is the website: AAMC: Summers
I think this attitude is going to change fast. The aspect is going to be whether IUHS provides the quality Basic Science education one requires to pass USMLE Step 1 and 2CK and 2CSA.
Cheers, A_G

Okay Biochemistry you can do through distance learning, how about anatomy lab......

Because there are people passing the aforementioned steps reason why they got residency spots.

OMG so much IUHS bashing everywhere!! Where are the IUHS grads, why not defend their school? Oh well, perhaps they are too busy studying for their exams or boards or with clinicals and residencies....like this one: SIU carbondale FP residents...u shall see IUHS grad who is licensed already in IL.

I think whoever is posting here is totally talking outa their .... without a single shred of evidence. If you look at the state laws, only CA and IN (some rely on CA list) have in their law that no online medical education is accepted. Rest dont have that and many, not just some (there are 50 states in the US remember), will license IUHS or OUM grads. No state boards will tell you for sure if they will license anyone until you apply...this is a fact.

Did you know that in CA online law degree is ok by the law!! Well, why not, they are the ones who write these ridiculous laws and the mindless doctors like the ones on these forums happily go along with it and fight among themselves.

Yes, while the doctors keep on fighting among themselves like on this forum, the lawyers just keep on laughing all the way to the bank by suing the doctors like the ones fighting on this forum. Message here: no unity among medical professionals.

"the lawyers just keep on laughing all the way to the bank by suing the doctors like the ones fighting on this forum."

You bet they are!

I'm not going to post the same things but I thought this thread and the other thread are closely related. So anyone interested should check out the following thread also to get a fair perspective rather than relying only on disgruntled or bitter students of the different Carib med schools. At the end of the day, apart from the so called top 4, a Carib med school is a Carib med school. You will be licensed in one state or the others. See this thread:

I am a current student at IUHS, I am using the televideo conferance option. I am a nurse practitioner in an ER, have 17 years of healthcare experience and found IUHS to be a good option for me. I can tell you It IS NOT, a school to Buy a Degree, My first courses included Immunobiology, Pharmacology, Biochemistry, Anatomy, and can tell you they are quite challenging. I have a mentor in the ER who is a US Graduate and has been impressed with the curriculum thus far. There are only a handfull of state (5 I believe) that do not accept IUHS degree, but each of those state medical boards can be petitioned for licensure. I know the carribian schools have a bad rap, I was hesistant at first, but have thus far found it to be challenging. I do agree with the concerns about gross anatomy classes, I am required to spend two months at the campus at which time we will be working with cadaveors, I am also going to attend autopsy's and use local colleges cadaveors to enhance the experience. I have talked with graduates from IUHS in residency in the US and those who are working as MD's. So IUHS is a viable option, there are few restrictive states, but they do exsist. AS far a clinical experience goes, I will be in chicago, a well established site for clinicals

here's a lind to IUHS grad who is in 3rd year residency

I never understood why students from one school, come down on students in another school.....same issue was in my undergraduate university and later even during my master year........Medical school is for reasonable, smart, educated, open minded, mature individuals.....
Each medical school is unique in its own ways....As long as it prepares the graduate MDs for residency and to pass the boards, as I see it, Job well done !!
