There's bread for everyone...

UMHS is not a threat to Windsor no more than AUC, ROSS, SGU, SABA have been a threat for places like Spartan or UHSA (both still in business), to compare in terms of time frame. There is bread for everyone in the Caribbean, as long as there are people willing to fork the price.

The principals of UMHS started ROSS - one of the pioneers of American offshore medical schools.


Dr Ross started ROSS UNIVERSITY IN DOMINICA.

DR T helped put it up there at the top of Caribean offshore schools.

Windsor is not, nor has never been or will be a top Caribean offshore school.

These are facts that cannot be condemned.

If Windsor has got clinical sites so can UMHS

If Windsor has got grads UMHS will have graduates.

The facts are that UMHS has principals with a stellar record in medical education in the Carribean and that Windsor is now shivering in its boots.

Im predicting, and hoping that UMHS will be a great light in medical education in the Carribean and that it will reduce the number of sub standard schools in the islands.

That UMHS is a big threat to Windsor is evident by the terms in recent contracts Windsor has been ofering to folk, in which would be tutors must sign that if they leave or are fired from Windsor, that they can not work in St Kitts for five years.

FYI one reciever of the contract has circulated it to the other St Kitts/Nevis schools.

Thank you so much for basically writing that letter for me, im gonna send it out to a bunch of the people on his faculty list tomorrow. Dr.m worked at ross for 11 years and was then let go, then he went to aua, and left, then he was the dean of IUHS and was fired (confirmed) by people who work for IUHS. its all just a bit shady to me ...

I just think the island of St.kitts is just backwards, the government does what they need to get the money from these half-assed schools. i have emailed the government so many times and i even emailed the editor of the news paper over there and all they told me was that it was a real university with students. its just sad im not giving up, and i wish more people would just tell the truth. when i lived in St..kitts the rumors from St..Theresa were all over the place so i went to the campus to see it and they wouldnt even let me in too take a tour they are so worried about people seeing or hearing about whats going on over there. Oh well the truth will come out eventually !! thanks again guys !!

I admire your efforts.

Be patient. Dont give up! Be tenacious!

The more you post the more likely that prospective students are likely to heed. A school can not succeed unless it has a certain minimum number of students.

Dont worry about the Kittian Government.

Chief Revenue Source

Medical, Veterinary and Nursing students are a prime source of revenue for the government of Saint Kitts and Nevis. Don't expect them to want to give up any of that revenue. By the way do you know if Barnett Medical School is now on Saint Kitts and what facilities are they going to use.

You are very correct. These narrow minded government officials in St Kitts worship at the altar of the immediate. A pity!

They have a poor tourism project and so they have to make do with long stay student/tourists, so they wont give up the revenue- EVER!. But sensible students should have the final say on the matter.

I have not heard anything from/ or about Burnett Medical School since October last.

do you mean Burnett s.o.m? the last i heard from that place was from the academic dean dr.r. he said he wasnt sure when it was going to start, but that was in january.their url is Burnett International University - Admissions

so according to my calculation there 6 med schools on st. kitts ?
umhs, iuhs, milik, st.theasa, burnett, mua(nevis), and they have a vet school and a nursing school ?

We can start a school in St Kitts too you know.

All ya got to do is raise the money for the charter and pass it under the table to the PM, and we in business. We will be IMED listed in no time. But ya got to work fast before the Government change! LOL

I know a man that says he was the Chief Education Officer there. He says he approves schools, but he had never once set foot in IUHS when I was there.
