American International University & Royal College of Ph

[George Brown]

Greetings all,

Just wondering if anyone on this forum knew anything about this entity:

American International University & Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of the United States of America - http://www.amintu.com

Email correspondence suggests that American International University is an official licensee of American University in Washington, DC and has been signed by one Martin H Savitz MD PhD, who claims to be Dean of AIU

Any background information would be most welcome.

Cheers,

George

Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of the United States? Hmmmph. Unless the US has recently been inondated by a wave of beaming monarchists, I'm guessing this group is not what it purports to be.

In a number of Commonwealth countries there's a government body with a similar title (e.g. Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada) that establishes and maintains standards for postgraduate medical education, among other things. I'm sure there's a similar government body in the US but I am equally sure you won't find the word "Royal" anywhere in its name. (The last time I checked, the US wasn't a constitutional monarchy.)

(Wasn't George Washington supposed to have turned down an invitation to become King of the US? And I don't think there's been any talk of Kings or Queens of the US ever since.)

The whole thing smacks of elitism and a misguided notion that anything British and "royal" should turn off any synapses that would normally recognize this for what it is: an attempt to lure people to spend money on on-line dipilomas.

The above is just my initial impression and maybe there's something about this group that I'm overlooking. But come on--Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of the US. That's just...funny.

First off ROyal College of Physicians and all of the other 'organizations' that this group has are not recognized by abms or any other officially recognized medical groups. THis is diploma mill city you are dealing with. Look at his links at:

http://www.valuemd.com/medschool/usm...www.amintu.com

ask the folks at http://forums.degreeinfo.com/ about it. I've seen some articles about this 'organization' there before.

Thanks. I am from Degreeinfo, but we mere mortals in that forum have no background in medical school licensing/ accreditation etc. What is the best way to verify the authenticity/ legitimacy of this institution?

The recognized boards are at:

I ran a quick 'scan' of those MD's and think you may not find many licenses themselves amongst them. You can check licensed at:

What, may I ask, is "degreeinfo?" Is that a medical evaluator, a country, a company or what?????? Seems like you mean degree-info, but can't be sure. How are you or your company medically related?

What, may I ask, is "degreeinfo?"

It's probably http://www.degreeinfo.com/

I think it's legitimate.

I think it's legitimate.

people like Dr. John Bear and the above George Brown are leaders in looking at diploma mills,etc. degreeinfo.com is sort of the valuemd of that industry.
