... a load of c....! A school based on a private farm, the farm owned by a disgruntled land owner who auto-proclaimed himself and his family royalty and self-proclaimed indepenence not recognized by any place on the planet. Whats does it make from the school?

A joke.

Let me help with some understanding about Delphi. I am an RN that worked with Dr Gross in Houston. He is real. His intial idea for Delpi was a school that was to cater to RN's, PA's, NP's. Recognizing that we already have a career and family's to support. And to quite for regular tradional medical school is almost impossible. But here is a core of proven clinicians that need to get through the two years with as little disruption as possible prior to clinicals. And guess what clinicals should be easy for us. Well four years ago they got their WHO approval. Although some changes were needed to be made by the university, because Dr Gross only wished to use practicing MD's as prof's. No PHD's in Biochemistry to slam unneeded info down our neck's. Only what was need to practice and pass the USLME's. Well as all political wrangling does it took longer to "get through" than expected. Well with time the vision has grown as you see the sight.
The school is real, the idea is real (and the AMA does not like the break with old boy's network. And that some of us stupid nurses may have what it takes to be an MD. And yes I am currently awaiting finial approval at this time from the University. Got what it takes to self learn to push yourself maybe they are right for you as well.

really? this is real? and i thought this was just a joke site. well could you tell us about doc babe in a box and when she is going to turn on her webcam?

They proclaim to be distance-learning orientated. I thought that was a BIG problem for many states?

"Only what was need to practice and pass the USLME's." There's a lot of "PhD" material in there in order to pass the USMLE.

Maybe hiring a professional to do the webpage will make it seem like less than a joke to us, and showing pictures of the campus, etc

Hey: No offense intended, but that school is associated with a cult! Also, the web page looks like something out of mad magazine.

Look, I don't mean to be rude but you have to be more than naive to fall for this kind of thing. The alleged principality is NOT recognized anywhere in ths planet. What makes you believe it will make it through IMED-FAIMER? Do some research on the history of the alleged principlaity and you will find yourself in the middle of a privately owned farm, owned by a guy that claims to have proclaimed independence.

Don't believe me. Do some much needed research on Principality of Hutt River, the place the school is located. The place It has purported to be a self-proclaimed independent sovereign state since its foundation, but has never been recognised as such by the Commonwealth of Australia or any other state. Without such recognition, what makes you belive it will get IMED-FAIMER listed? WHO listing...doubt it.

This leads me to belive that either the owner of the school does not know this, and is heading for one heck of a surprise, or he does know it and is taking you and all your peers for the ride of your life.

As you said, the place is for real, I don't doubt it, the school is real, maybe, and for sure, the scam is also for real.

You may also choose not to listen and spend your money in a nicely crafted, totally worhtless diploma.

First off the site has been updated almost daily since the start of the year/ You may wish to check it out. As to the Doc Babe? Well I can not tell you much about Holly. Except that she is the contracted admin that you send your application forms to in PA. Oh some people where talking about the University phone number not being correct.. Did you by chance use the country code before the phone number? I have personally spoke to the University ( and yes I first did not use the country code.....). As to the USLME parts.. Dr Gross originally planned to use only MD's to teach although the University has changed some things and some classes will be taught by PHD's. The first two years basic science will be done on line for RN/PA/NP's with already proven clinical experiance. I am not sure that the on line is open for all applicants.. but I could be wrong. As to going to Panama well that will of course be different expence for everyone depending on where you live. If you read the fin. area it discusses the tution and the added cost of travel. I know that some things on the site need to be updated and tweaked some, but they are just getting off the ground. The first apps started coming in Oct of 06. (I assume this because when I paid the app fee there was a tech problem at first.) Your eval of Delphi has valid points, although I do know Dr Gross the rest I do not know, we worked together for nearly two years. At that time the WHO had just approved them, I think they have managed to do alot with just a few people.

Yeah, and those updates just made it HARDER to navigate and read, LOL. I can imagine it's probably someone using like a cheap webpage maker and slapping some things they made from Corel draw or paintshop.

Though the question still remains, what about the distance learning? What states still allow that for licensure?
