MiniSOE. Where do you find these things? Even SOE doesn't resort to random searches to bring up really old posts and start spamming them.

Just a friendly FYI, keep on topic, or the mods will be on your bum. We don't want to have the who thread closed.

Uh, yeah, because the who? thread has a topic...

Seriously though, I think it's hilarious that the who? and the AUC Banter threads are still afloat.

The big picture.

You just have to do your homework. If it sounds too good to be true it is.
Foreign medical school fraud is a HUGE problem. Students have lost MILLIONS. Eventually, the US government will step in and say, 'ENOUGH'. They have already assisted England in shutting down some schools and put the people responsible for opening them behind bars. The saddest part is that there are good honest established accredited foreign med schools out there but more and more the reports of fraud are destroying the industry. The good schools need to ban together and encourage students who transfer in from the bad schools to report what they have seen and experienced to the proper authorities.

Student doctors have a lot of hate and anger which needs to be released on each other, because they hate each other. They are each others' competition, and this gives them a chance to bash each other and call them names like dumb-dumb and stupid head, and this relieves some of their inner angst so that they can go back to school where they are surrounded by cut-throat vermin...metaphorically speaking.

Negative much

Awe come on now it's not that bad. Ask the students who are going to the proven foreign med schools...schools run by folks who will actually show you their charter and provide you with a list of names of graduates who went on to become doctors. These schools are very open with info such as the owner of the school's name and have no problem providing you with their admins credentials and background info because they have lived their life on the up and up and have nothing to hide. Students who are smart enough not to attend a school without getting this info up front do not run into these kinds of problems. I doubt any doctor would write out a check without knowing exactly who they are handing it to.

Like I said, there are some really good foreign med schools out there. But students who are or have attended the bad schools make it seem like the trouble they experienced is just part of attending a foreign med school which is sooo not true. With the legit schools you get to focus on your studies and just be a student without having to worry with all the lawsuits, bad press, secrets, lies, drama and soap operas.
