Say it again, please, azskeptic. I'm trying to follow your statement.

It's one thing discussing the merrits of on-line education for medical school. It's quite another discussing what IUHS is doing. Yes, we can get into spirited debates about on-line education for part of basic science and the evolving technology that may make it very feasible in the future. Fine. However, what IUHS is doing is using this discussion/debate to sneak through it's useless/unethical programs.... programs that allow OMSF dentists to earn MD degrees in 18 months while continue to work as a dentist. Programs that allow chiropractors with no real medical trainings to earn MD degrees in 27 months while still working as a chiropractor... Or, granting advanced standing to nurses and PA's...

I totally agree that distance learning sucks! I tried it and I almost went insane. I got totally sick of being promised things and never getting them, sitting for hours alone reading through handouts which I'd printed off; trying not to feel bitter that I'd paid a few grand for them and finally, the constant slander and embarrassment that I received whenever I told anyone which medical school I was at. People look down on distance learning for one reason; the reason being that it doesn't constitute a medical degree. Its a way for corrupt people to bleed dry students desperate to study medicine. I say this only because I have spent so long trying to defend my university until I finally woke up and smelt the coffee... This is no way to sudy medicine. Run away and don't look back to online learning. There was a time when I would have done just about anything to become a doctor, but being ripped off really isn't worth it. Please people, do yourselves favours and learn from my mistake at least.

Thanks Caroline for your sincere and honest statement about online learning. It sounds like you would make a fine health care professional....I hope you will find a program suitable to your needs.

I believe it would be very difficult for one to gain a U.S. Residency after completing such a program. Sounds like you made the right choice!

Alternatives:
Have you exhausted all your options for admittance to a US MD or DO school?
Have you considered PA school?
Have you condsidered AA school?
Have you considered NP school?

Online Is Fine For Professionals For Kids Just Out Of Undergrad I Def Do Not Recomm,,,,,relaxxx Take The 3 Courses And Move To The Next Level,,you Think People Care Where You Went To School,,,they Don T So Relax

AND YOU RE SAYING THIS? LOL

All It Costs If You Go Into It With A Dc Dds Etc,,i Would And Consider Doing This Soon,,makes Sense,,why Would I Waste Time And Energy After Yrs In Practice,,i Would Know More In Treating Patients Than Any Harvard Med School Resident,,,for Sure

Its Sept 2006,,,you See,,,,most Here Have No Clue And Not Sure Of The Direction In Life

With all the rejections from the U.S., those of you looking to do an online medical education and practice in the U.S. shows your not very serious about medicine. Would you rather get you degree the easiest way and kill a patient or work your **** off the right way and be a good doctor? There's no way any online program has the same level of resourses and instruction & learning than a legitimate teacher/student atmosphere with an established institution. What are your motives in the first place? Being an M.D. for showcase? Being an M.D. involves major responsibility and it starts during your first day of education... You need to put yourself in the best position to learn because lives are possibly on the line... No hard feelings or anything...
