Premedical Sciences and Basic Sciences are 2 different animals.
I would imagine one could feasibly piecemail thier pre-medical requirements through distant learning by taking inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, biology, anatomy, phsyiology, microbiology and so forth at various universities across the nation. The problem would be if the medical school would accept those courses without a lab component. The University of Utah offers some of those courses online as well as the University of Oklahoma. Harvard has "an extension campus" for pre-med but I don't believe it is online.

There has been some discussion on this forum in regards to "online medical school" of which the basic sciences were given in part online but the clinical rotations were at affliated hospitals. Schools such as IUHS of St. Kitts, Oceania of Samoa and UHSA of Antigua might still offer some of the courses via distant learning but licensure issues in the USA have been brought up. Whether or not those schools are accredited I don't know but they are listed in the IMED directory found at:
IMED - FAIMER International Medical Education Directory

Make sure you check with the medical school you are applying to if the online premedical courses are accepted!!!!

The W.H.O. with the aid of the University of Copenhagen, is currently compiling a global database of health professions educational institutions. However, they do not "accredit" schools. Rather, the database is a listing of schools recognized by the governments they are located in.

For now, the IMED directory is your best search tool.

It is my opinion that the economics of healthcare will become increasingly important.

Thus, it is critical that current students graduate with a LOW DEBT LOAD.

As a graduate of an online school, earning a BA, then eventually earning my MD from a US school and residencies at top universities, I can say with certainty that my online BA was a great value.
