QATAR?

[MJN]

I just got an a brochure about a medical school in Qatar that's affiliated with Cornell, anyone know anything about this place?

I just recieved the same info in the mail today. People who graduate there will still be considered IMGs, right? I mean, that school cannot get LCME approval.

any other info on this school?

Still IMGs. It is my understanding that the school is only for people in that region...US citizens need not apply. Does the stuff you got say any differently?? Lemme know if it does, I like to update my brain from time to time. G

According to the brochure it says people from the US can apply as well. Also you will be graduating with the same Cornell degree as the US based medical school. I'm guessing though they're probably going to add a little postscript to your degree though. Also it says the curriculum is taught by Cornell faculty.

Could you post any contact infos from the brochure? The website? And anything else useful?

I do not have the brochure...

[MJN]

Is there any foreign school you can graduate from without being an IMG?

I hear though in terms of USMLE pass and score it's a much safer bet to go to one of the Carib's than puerto rico.

Puerto Rico is not a foreign school. It is considered a US school and is LCME accredited. PR is a US territory. G
