American Medical University

[cathycarroll]

I have found the staff at American Medical University to be extremely professional. They answered all my questions and their price is great! I just finished an orientation with them and have found their program to be the finest so far....I think my search has ended.

American Medical University

They also have a wonderful nursing program through their nursing college. My sister is looking into American Nuring Institute.

I am looking into a program where I can complete my medical training while keeping my present job. I am very interested in doing my training online. American Medical University gave me a outstanding demonstration and I can say that I am now a believer of online training!

Please send any recommendations to me of online medical training programs. I am ready to get started!

Under which country is this school listed in IMED (the starting point for U.S. licensure)?

American Medical University is not listed on IMED. Even its "core member" George Dewey Medical College is not listed.

Its website states "AMU was founded in 1992 with the goal of combining two distinct learning environments - online and the traditional bricks and mortar." With 15 years of existence, the website is very sparse on any concrete, verifable information.



I dont think it's possible to get licensed via this "university".

Any licensed grads from this school during the last 15 years?

I though online basic science curriculum wasn't approved by many states and will prevent liscensure? Maybe I'm wrong.

another advertisement pretending to be a poster.

yea....a school with a website ending in .com rather than .edu already started raising red flags

Dot com??? OK, let me take the sail and bail out quick.

I will open my own soon, and it will be DOT biz.

fwiw, essentially no international medical school and nearly no academic institution outside the United States that doesn't already have a .edu address will ever have one, unless the present rules are changed.

EDUCAUSE, the agency that manages the .edu domain under contract to the U.S. Department of Commerce, now enforces rules restricting memberships to post-secondary "US institutions" accredited by an agency on the U.S. Department of Education's list of nationally recognized accreditation agencies. .edu Eligibility FAQ.

Older registrants of .edu domains who would not meet the new criteria are grandfathered in. Some are legitimate schools outside the U.S. like sgu.edu, rossu.edu, aucmed.edu and saba.edu, some are high schools, some aren't educational institutions at all, and a few may be diploma mills.

So we will have to get used to new or newly-registering international schools, and schools in the U.S. too new to be accredited yet, using top-level domains names other than .edu.

I contacted WHO and they were not listed. Basically, I believe they will offer the courses, but what good is an MD if you can't be licensed anywhere? I called the admissions office (one person) and they couldn't answer my questions; e.g., email addresses of alumni. They just told me to hurry and send my money so I could get accepted. If you talk with Brown University and ivimeds.org who are working on online medical education they will tell you to beware of any "schools" claiming to offer a complete MD Program online.
