Spartan Alumni

In the Alumni link on their website (http://www.spartanmed.org/html/alumni.html) you'll find a link to Residents, Active Physicians, and Teaching Physicians.

If you tally the # of Residents, you'll come up with 31 Residents.
If you sum the # of Active Physicians and Teaching Physicians together, you'll get a number of 46.

Summing these numbers together gives you 77 alumni.

Are they trying to tell me that since 1980, this school has had 77 successful graduates from Spartan?

That means on average, 2.8 graduates per year? (.9 graduates per trimester)

Lets assume the number is not 77. For some reason, Spartan messed up and their total # of graduates is actually twice the amount. 2 x 77 = 154.

Okay... so that means 5.7 graduates per year? And since they are on a trimester system... wouldn't that put the average at 1.9 graduate per trimester.

I am just surprised. This is with DOUBLING what the website lists. I wanted to go to this school. Grrrr. Please tell me that their website is outdated and the actual number of graduates should be like 1000 !!

In orderfor any school to list your name under alumni a grad must give permission,most grads specially the successful ones would not want to be listed since we all seen how journalists and others write to employers to cause harm to many carribean grads.
I have personally counted over 300 practicing physicians from internet search alone.
north Dakota recently have adopted CA list and schools on the CA lists become easy and unfair target for any state trying to take a short cut of taking
responsibility off their shoulders.

Personal opnion/ and search shared.
