The Problem with Caribbean Medical Schools

[futrphysician]

It is indeed "distressing to see so many new medical schools sprouting up on virtually any independent island or promoters using third world countries to set up “store front” type operations in the United Kingdom.

THERE ARE THOSE HERE THAT IS TRUE. opps caps lock.

However, what this scam org is saying is nothing new. Its Saba trying to defend itself from legit schools having its own students transfer OUT due to a lack of satisfaction with their education and living conditions.

In the world of Foreign Schooling, people vote with their feet and wallets. its capitalistic pureness. Don't like it? Go somewhere else. They hate that and are trying to create doubts where some do not exist.

every school has a starting point. Even Princeton started out in humble surroundings, but the one's who strive for greatness have to survive the attacks of those mired in mediocrity.

Forget the AAIMG: Here is an organization with some weight behind it:
Q. Does the AMA recommend any foreign medical schools and is there any organization that accredits medical schools throughout the world?

A. The AMA does not accredited, approve or rank medical schools outside the United States nor is there any organization that accredits medical schools throughout the world. However, it is important to know that ECFMG certification requires that a medical school must be listed in the current edition of the International Medical Education Directory published by the ECFMG’s Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research. You can view the Directory at http://www.faimer.org/

The AMA’s section on Medical Education (link) provides valuable resources and information
