Offshore medical school demand

[maximillian genossa]

I just noticed another medical school just popped up in St. Vincent. If we carefully count the alarming number of Caribbean Medical schools compared , for example with airline carriers in the U.S. there are more Caribbean Medical schools oriented to American students than US flag carriers servicing the entire nation. For the heck of a debate, as lousy as it might be, does this mean there is more demand for offshore medical school education than demand for US travel?

Ridiculous.....maybe, but what really is ridiculous is the HUGE number of medical schools popping up all around the Caribbean. It gives no respect for the programs, looses credibility and make things not easier for licensing in the big US of A.

It looks like for-profit med schools are popping up in the US.

Google the New Scotland International School of Medicine.

I have not been able to trace a charter for them and they claim to have one from a foreign nation, which I have checked ALL the international medical databse in IMED and zilch, nothing, squat.

That they are in California and not LCME approved doesn't bode well....their claim they are on Federal Land doesn't fly well either.....

They have some Youtube videos up that are hilarious.
