I dropped out of St. Luke's University School of Medicine

This is something that I think that everyone should read. I'm no longer a student at St. Luke's University School of Medicine and I apologize for all that warned me and tried to have me come to my senses. I truely wanted to be a physician. I wanted to be doctor. Now, I'm a fool. And the president of St. Luke's Medical school is making me out to be one. He clearly blames me for all that is happening to St. Luke's University School of Medicine. He has sent me more than one email stressing how I caused all this to come about. He even says that I've caused the accreditation of his school in both Liberia and Ghana to be in jepordy now.

Now, the very organization which I defended is saying I'm to blame. He's making out like I'm the one who called the Ministry of Ghana to verify what he has on offical documents stating St. Luke's University School of Medicine is accredited in both Liberia and Ghana. Have you noticed that everything that states that has been removed from the internet? I have an offical catalog from St. Luke's University School of Medicine dated just last year stating this:

Quote:
St. Luke School of Medicine is a private medical school accredited in both the Republic of Liberia (Lie) and the Republic of Ghana in West Africa (Lie). The Basic Science campuses are located Monrovia, Liberia (Lie) and Cape Coast, Ghana (Lie). It wqs established in June 1998 and accredited in January 1999 in Ghana (Lie), and August 2000 in Liberia (Lie). St. Luke School of Medicine is registered with the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. Students and graduates of St. Luke are approved and eligible to take the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), administered by the Educational committee for Foregin Medical Graduates (ECFMG). Students and graduates of St. Luke School of Medicine can do internship and residency in the United States and Canada.
That's on the front cover of the St. Luke School of Medicine Catalog which I printed off their website before I sent in my application.

Also, look at this. This was in my acceptance package which I recieved.

Quote:
Please indicate below your preferred country of registration, Liberia or Ghana. Please expect to begin studies September 2003 in Ghana, Liberia or the USA.
At the end of each page, it has your name, Date, Location and you circle the country of registration which you want to belong. I belive I circled Ghana on each of my pages.

I will not post the email this President of the school sent me blaming me for all that has come about with St. Luke's. However, after the first one, I sent an apology and he sent another with much stronger language blaming me for the exposure of St. Luke's. He even went as far as saying that I'm the one that now may put his school at risk of not being able to become accredited in Liberia or Ghana.

I do hope you are reading this Mr. President of St. Luke's and tell your lawyers to contact me so I can show them all the deception you put in writing claiming St. Luke's was legal when it never was. Yeah I would love to argue this in court. Your words of denial of what you have put into writing. You can't take back what you wrote and signed. You can delete it off the website and claim you never said that, but I have all in writing. Did you think I would throw that stuff away? You got me mistaken for someone else. Your right about one thing, I didn't make a fool of St. Luke's, I made a fool of myself believeing your fraud and deceptive words. You have taken over $800 of my money all in the name of fraud and deception. I would love to see that in court.

Lastly, word of warning to Azsepktic and others who are exposing this fraud and deceptive school, Mr. President is threatening to sue you for expressing a fact in open forum. It's not opinion any more Mr. President of St.Luke's that you lied about accreditation in Ghana and Liberia. It's not opinion anymore that you were in fact enrolling student in Ghana and Liberia. It's all on offical papers. You enrolled these students knowing that the school was not accredited nor legal in Ghana or Liberia. This is not opinion and you dang sure can't sue a person for stating the facts. You've committed a major fraud and now your looking to blame someone when you've been exposed? How dare you. You've got alot of balls.

Let this be a lesson to all those out there who want to go to medical school. If the school doesn't request MCAT scores, doesn't have any graduates, doesn't have any standards on who they admit, doesn't have legal status in the country you want to attend (Call every government offical you can and stay away from medical school that open up in the middle of a war torn country), has no students in the US in residency that you can call and verify and has no licensed graduates, stay the hell away from these schools. That includes all those new medical schools that have only been around for less than 10yrs and makes promises that they can't prove. Apply to the schools which have reputation. Don't fall for the cheap tuition or how easy it is to get into the medical school.

I feel so stupid. I'm holding back the tears in my eyes over the gal of this man blaming me for all that is happening. But it's ok. I'll re-register at my legit accredited recognized in all 50 states undergraduate university and do it right this time. I only pray that I can get into one of the more established medical school when it comes time for me to go to a real medical school. I should have listened. Azsepktic, NeilC and others, I'm so sorry. To Valuemd people, I'm so sorry. I ask each and everyone of you to please forgive me. Please don't look down on me because of this.

With all due respect, I think most people here already have this down. Nonetheless, no one will look down on you. At least you have the courage to admit your mistake, take corrective action, and move on. Good luck.

I believe you have St. Luke's University School of Medicine in Belize, mixed up with St. Luke's School of Medicine in Ghana or w/e. St. Luke's Uni of Med is a different school. Correct me if I am wrong.

"ST. LUKE'S UNIVERSITY" is located in Belize.

"ST. LUKE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE" is located in Liberia and Ghana, as per IMED.


The problem is with ST. LUKE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE.

soon2bMS,

Live and learn. A fool is someone who never learn, and that's not you since you did come to the realization.

Best of luck with your next medical school,

dt

No, don't mistake the real medical school St.Luke's University School of Medicine in Belize, with the one that claims to be accredited in both Liberia and Ghana.

Everyone who has been following this liberia/Ghana school know what I'm talking about. The one in Belize is real. The one that claims to be in Liberia/Ghana is fake. The government exposed them for who they are and now he's putting the blame on me. I would post the emails but I think they are against the rules here. If you could see what this guy is writing me, you would see how deceptive he really is. His school is in trouble. His graduate, the few that are, now have a worthless pieace of paper. He now needs to go through the proper channels in Ghana and Liberia for accreditation. St. Luke's University school of Medicine, the one which claims liberian and Ghanaian accreditation will forever have this over their heads to carry. What is he going to say? He flat out lied to me and all the other students enrolled in his school. He can flag around that worthless document about how his school is legal in Liberia and Ghana, but the government has spoken. Do you really think that graduates are going to be licensed here in the US from a non accredited medical school which the countries own government now says is operating illegal? Even if they accredited his medical school tonite, do you think the US medical boards are going to license a doctor from a medical school who government is not equal to the standards that a US medical school is accredited?

No, don't confuse the two schools. The one in Belize does not deserve to be looked at on the same level that the one which claims to be liberian and Ghanaian is looked at now. I wish the best for Dr. D and his school, but he crossed the line with me tonite. All the student from his school is worried now and they are calling him to confront on the topic. I even called him and he started yelling at me and curseing at me about how untrue the accusation was. Mind you, it wasn't me who put out the statement from the Ghana Ministry of health and the ministry of education in Liberia, it was the government. Now he wants to blame me because his lies are coming to light! He can blame me. That's ok. I guess I'm the one who exposed St. Luke University School of Medicine, Liberia/Ghana for what it is. I guess I'm also the person who went to the Liberian and Ghanaian government and held a meeting with them and told them to tell the truth. Go figure. Do you want to attend a medical school where the president of the school sends you an email saying your the cause of all the problem they have with the government over the lies the president told? What Dean or president of a medical school would do this to a student they claim is doing well in their school?

I can't talk about this no more because I get upset just thinking about the issue. No, I haven't invested alot of money into this school and I glad I haven't. So far I've only put myself a year behind from graduation from a real undergraduate school and about $800 in the whole. I'm one of the lucky ex-students I guess.

St. Luke in Belize is no hidden treasure either. Best approach is just to stay away from any foreign med school with a biblical name in its title.

Well, on second thought, that might be a step too far

I dropped out of St. Luke University School of Medicine.

Soon2bms,

I also dropped out of St. Luke's University, School of Medicine in Ghana/Liberia/Nigeria/India (not the legit St. Luke University School of Medicine in Belize). You did nothing wrong but, trust the word of a group of Money Hungry Proven Liars.

St. Luke School of Medicine in Ghana/Liberia, CHANGED its name to ST. LUKE UNIVERSITY, SCHOOL OF MEDICINE in January 2004 because of trouble with some of its former students.

I agree with Action Potential's statement that "you have the courage to admit your mistake, take corrective action, and move on. I also made the very same mistake of trusting the SLUSOM/SLSOM President, Vice President/Chief Financial Officer, and its Board members. "God Bless You"


To all Past, Present, or Graduates of SLSOM/SLUSOM - Ghana/Liberia/India/Nigeria, you need to contact the (BBB) Better Business Bureau of Inglewood, CA 90305 and complain about its Not-for-profit practices in California. Provide them with a copy of the Liberian Embassy Statement.

You also need to seek out a local attorney and provide the attorney with all of the misleading documentation that SLSOM/SLUSOM has given to you thus far and a copy of the Liberian Embassy Statement. Bring a Civil lawsuit in your individual local city/state court against the St. Luke University School of Medicine - President, Vice President/Chief Financial Officer, and every Board Member. The SLSOM/SLUSOM main office where the President, Vice President/Chief Financial Officer, and Board member are primarily located (easy for lawyer to send blanket lawsuit information to all concerned parties).

This will stop them from committing FRAUD.


"You will Win in Court"
