There are no significant changes since the last site visit. There is some improvement noted in the permanent campus building that sits next to a bottling plant in an industrial area of Vieux Fort. There is a small stable faculty who each teach several courses. Nearly all are foreign trained with the exception of 2 Spartan graduates who never completed residencies. There is no alteration in the minimal four trimester basic science curriculum which is taught in a piecemeal approach. It is impossible for all the basic science and pre-clinical topics to be covered in such a short time frame. Two cadavers, one male and one female, are present in the tiny anatomy lab. There is a small library with internet access but the holdings of books and journals are insufficient. There is no listing of hospital affiliations and students must pay own clerkship fees, which can be several hundred dollars a month. 66 weeks of required core clerkships includes only 6 weeks of Pediatrics but 20 weeks of core surgery and surgical subspecialties. The main teaching hospital is a small facility for civil servants in Juarez, Mexico, which tends to run a low census. There is little structure to the teaching program and students must often find there own clerkships in the USA. Federal loans were withdrawn 1997. Despite establishment in 1981 and claims of licensed graduates in 40 states, this school can provide the names of fewer than 60 licensed graduates. There is a history of legal sanctions by California and injunctions by the Texas Attorney General.

most ppl agree that the aaimg is bogus. at the very least, they all agree that they have no credibility. this has come up soooo many times already. just do a search on this site and read all about it. but to get u started, i'll paste the text from the federation of world medical association which probably isn't any more legitamate than the aaimg, but they make a pretty strong case.

my advice is to use the aaimg criteria (which is actually copied from the aamc) and try to collect the info from each school of interest on ur own to evaluate them the best u can independently. do not rely on their evaluations for any schools and double check anything they say.

peace

When did this latest report come out? Less than a month ago? When was their latest visit? When was their previous visit?

I cant see how this quote is true:
I think their last visit (if they visited at all) was more than 2 years ago? And their latest visit was recently?

So, how did AAIMG miss a new building? And why did they not know of the reinstatement of the Stafford loan?


AAIMG is either too sloppy or mischevious.

Maybe they are a figment of your imagination?

Could be. Thanks. I'll make a mental note.

Spartan has just recently APPLIED to receive the Stafford Loan again. It has not been approved, and will NOT be instituted in January as was originally claimed by school officials. Again, NO STAFFORD LOAN is approved for Spartan as of this writing.

I phoned the office today and talked to the admission advisor. He said that the Stafford loan has been approved and the paperwork is in the works. As for January timeframe, I never asked him that since I do not need the Stafford loan. But I do know from previous posts back in August (for eg, by emerson24) that the loan had been approved and is likely to be available January.

So let's compare notes, where/who is your source that they just applied?

Dude, I knew you were loaded. Can I borrow a few hundred thousand?
