Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm not sure I undertand this school.. You take ONLINE courses and exams for the basic sciences??? That seems crazy!!!! I guess if you do well on the "equalizer" step 1 then there should be no problem, but online courses sounds like a diploma mill to me... just my 2 cents

wow, it must be really comforting for prospective students that NO ONE bothered to answer my question.... How about a moderator, a school official, anyone.....

No it's not always ok, many states will not accept medical education courses that were taught online. I believe someone already complied a list on the school's forum.

where is that list? I checked but it is not correct. I think state boards will not tell you until you apply, there are NO gurantees that anyone including someone from US school also will get licensed. State boards are on their own and decide based on set guidelines or law.

Only CA and IN have in their law that no online medical education would be acceptable...this creates challenges for the US schools that are slowly switching a lot of basic science to online PBL system like Miami Uni that now has a satellite clinic and uses lot of online PBL content. They are also involved with the ivimeds organization (google it and you will find).

There was a lot of opposition to top 4 carib schools 30yrs ago so who knows what will happen in another 30yrs? The internet is still relatively a new thing (under 2 decades), remember?? Anytime there is anything new, it is always viewed with skepticism. Whatever ppl say on blogs and forums has to be taken with a pinch of salt IMHO.
