That sounds much better, thanks AZ.

I usually like AZSkeptics points, but don't understand why just because he is a dental surgeon he can't get licensed if he get's his MD, by a state or country that accepts the graduating school and rotations. I'd rather go to him for medical problems them many of my psychiatrist friends that graduated from top US schools. I bet he would make a great otolaryngologist. I think Nova Southeastern has a rapid program for podiatrists to get a DO degree, that is probably shorter than what this Dentist is doing. His rotations look alot better than some of the East European MDs that apply to work in the US. On an individual basis I do not see the problem with mature medically trained individuals. But, I do understand the point as related to young college graduates with no experience in the medical settings. They must rely on the school to provide the best education possible.

GENOSSA, the basic science portion at UHSA's 3 year program is not online, I am currently a student and I have taken the classes with US MD's teaching the courses. I know students that are just about entering their clinicals and they have only had one class online (genetics), thats it. For someone like myself who has taken genetics in college twice, this class online for me will just be a review. I know the school does in fact have a complete internet based program. However, I do not know much about it I would not recommend this, for I do not believe one can obtain the necessary knowledge. However, I do believe UHSA's program is ample for medical professionals.

PROF, I agree. The program at University of Health Science Antigua (UHSA) is a good program for mature students in the medical field. This is my point and what I have been saying from the beginning. I bet, most students that trash the school are not already in the clinical based medical field (PA, NP, etc). I think most RN's have a chance, but not all.

I have been considering UHSA. I have MSN with 3.87 GPA and I do have good study habits. Older (46 yr old) student. I have read several positive comments regarding those with experience in health care doing ok at UHSA. I do know of US schools that are similar in that students complete a large portion of instruction close to home. Any other insight is appreciated.

If the passing rate of USMLE is low, I am simply correlating that fact (that you admit) with what seems to obey to a poor basic sciences program. Online or on site, it seems that there are deficiencies that are reflected in poor pasing rate on board exams.

Just a point of observation. I am glad you are happy there.

Ok, the school has a poor pass rate, but so would NYU or Columbia if they accepted 99% of studets that applied, and they have as sound a medical corriculum as there is; dont you agree. Like I said before, UHSA is best suted for a medical professional, i am not saying that 100% of the student already in the medical field will pass USMLE 1 but they seem to have a better shot as performing well and a better chance of passing USMLE 1. And for me as long as I will be able to practice in NY, NJ, FL I have no other problems, except to do what I know needs to be done.

cool

What I would like to know is how to confirm that the school has a scheduled visit from NYS in early 2006. I was told by someone at NYS licensing that this was the fact, but I am now thinking maybe she was confused with AUA and UHSA. How would I confirm? Can anyone confirm this for me and let me know? I have already emailed the school but would like an outside confirmation.

You'll hear back from NYS I would guess. I beliee your assumption that it is AUA they are visiting is correct; that has been posted elsewhere.
