Medical schools in Belize

[footdoc]

There seems to be more medical schools opening in Belize. Does anyone have any information about schools there?

don't look at grace, it shut down last year.

Its true that most of the other schools in Belize have closed down or are on the verge of closong down.
As soon as Belize implements the CARRICOM guidelines, most of all the schools in belize will close down except CAHSU as they fullfill all the requirements laid down by CARRICOM and they are working together with UWI. After some time with implement of CARRICOM CAHSU will be accrediated in all 50 states of USA.
Grace is already closed. St.Luke & MUA Belize are on verge of closing. Hope and Interamerican doesn't exist there.
So select the college carefully.

From what I have read and the people I have spoke with regarding Belize, CAHSU is the school to stay away from.
The Spartan people own this school and we all know how good Spartan is.

From what I read and people in the know. CAHSU is the school to avoid in Belize.

i was in belize this year and Hope university has a pretty decent campus comparing to many caribbean med schools.

Please could someone tell me more about these Carricom guidelines? Are other Govt's in the caribbean implementing them and what are they. Thanks

I agree that Hope has a very nice and brand new campus in Belize.
They also own the campus.
They are starting at a higher quality than many carribean schools.

Where is Hope Univ? Does anyone go to school there. If so, can anyone tell me how they operate as I am very curious.

I am a 4th year student from Hope.
Here is some info that I got from them:
They have official documents from the secretery of State fromthe State departement to establish a medical school.
They are listed in IMED.
They have excellent relations with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education of Belize and they are working together on humanitarian work.
The charter is secured until 2014 and then will be automatically renewed.
They own a brand new building with labs, classrooms, library, offices, a/c, etc.
They have a 6 acre land and an infrastructure of 50000 suae feet in Hungary for another campus, but it is not quite completed yet.ű
They are working an affiliation with Pensylvannia Research center in order to provide their students with research opportunities.
They have active proffesors from George Washington Medical University for their program in medical geology. George Washington University and Hope are the only 2 schools in the world offering that program.
They have both Hungarian and American proffessors.
Their teaching hospitals are greenbook and located mainly at Atlanta and Budapest.
The hospital in Budapest is Semelweiss and it is the most important teaching hospital in Hungary (I am currently doing pediatric neurology there!).
They are a christian school, with christian principles. But they accept all religions of course.
They have an International foundation giving tons of money and equipment across the world.
They are selective.
They are not approvesd in CA and NY yet.
