To Whom It May Concern:

I have a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree (DDS), a Masters of Science in Neuroscience, a Masters of Science in Psychoanalysis, a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and another Ed.D in Counseling Psychology. I am a Clinical Child Psychologist and Neuropsychologist. I wish to dedicate my life to Teaching and Research with Children which have Autism, ADD, epilepsy, Cerebral Palsy. A Neuropsychologist studies brain activities in Children with Congenital, Developmental, or Acquired Behavioral Disorders. I went to apply for a teaching position at a Medical School Department of Pediatrics. I lost out, because the other candidate had a Medical degree
(MD). Eventhough, I had 100x more experience and knowledge. I went to apply to Medical School within Continental United States. The Tuition was ridiculous and they would not recognize non of my other Doctoral classes which I obtained in US schools (Like if I were a Freshman again). I am looking for a University which could provide me my MD degree, taking into consideration all of my present degrees and past experience. I do not seek Licensure with my Medical Degree, just by having an MD helps me in career advancement. If The IUHS helps me achive this, I believe that is performing an excellent service. I went to London and received a Doctor of Science in Medicine (D.Sc. Med), which is not accepted in the US. I have two offers waiting to be Head of Pediatric Neuropsychiatry and Neuropsychology Research Dept as soon as I get my MD degree. Again, if IUHS helps me achieve that. It has definitely served a great purpose. I have been around the Healthcare field for a long time. It is not the school , but the student which makes a good Physician. Sometimes, like in my case, when you apply to some Med Schools (especially in the US). They do not like to see a Freshman with so many degrees. I am applying for a foreign school that would take my PhD'S , D.Sc., and Masters (including my past experience) to get my MD degree.

Wow! You have a whole bunch of nice degrees on your belt.

Let's hope your degrees werent from schools like this one?

well, let us know which reputable med schools would give you credit for past experience?

I don't quite understand how you intend on seeking career advancement with an MD, which isn't even good enough for you to qualify for licensure?

its often done by PhDs, nutritionists, chiros, pods, and dentists to make them more "marketable" with no intention of practicing they think it is ok to just basically buy a degree to attarct patients oir advance their carreers. just think about seeing a chiropractor who is an "MD" but "chooses" to practice chiropractic medicine or a nutritionist who has a nice paper freshly printed "MD" on it and how much more weight their advice carries? it is against the law in some states to say you have an MD if you aren't licensed.

it is wrong because it dilutes the inate value that the degree has, it is already being diluted and attacked by PA's, NP's and now DPN's! getting a MD degree has inate meaning to it.

also as far as these short cur degrees, there was a rash of them in the 90's from russian universities with dentists gettingf in trouble for it. if the degree is for academic purposes then it is just as important to come from a reputable source, if they just want a piece of paper then it is a sad day in the teaching profession that it is willing to accept it

better question is where are the current degrees from? i can go online now and in 2 weeks i can be a MD, DDS, PhDx3.... i am just asking because DDS to the others is such a drastic change that i question if these degrees are from sources similar to iuhs that grant "life" experience and such

Either he is joking or he is bluntly honest about his intentions.

I do hope it is a joke - I wonder where the other degrees are from?
