Subject: Re: Questions and Concerns about St. Christopher's College of Medicine

We have now taken steps to get in touch with our existing residents, and will be producing a list soon on the web site. Currently we have residents in Maryland, Texas, Virginia, Nevada, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Illinois and a few others, but again, we have not been keeping up with where everyone is going. These residents have had no problems with first-choice locations.
Hmmm, if he wasn't keeping track of there residents, that how the hell does he know where they are right now.....

ALSO, lying ***** and the ****ster said that there are over a 100 residents from st chris!!!!! then how come a google search doesn't reveal even 5 reisents...THe only ones that come up are the 4 that are listed by them 8)

Is Bill Clinton on the board of directors?

of course that depends on the meaning of the word "is"
FLK I found that part to be stretching things a bit thin, too.... some of the letter seemed ok, and I am glad they are making an effort to get some truths out there, but come on, trying to get around laws like this by this kind of reasoning is only going to backfire in your faces, which is going to reflect poorly on ALL foreign schools. Do you think the government of Great Britain is going to recognize St. Chris' building(s) as 'foreign soil'?

Actually, in fairness to the original statement, it should be pointed out that the term "like" was used. "Like", as in analogy or illustratation, rather than "is", as in inherently descriptive, an explicit relationship. So, it depends on what the meaning of the word "like" "is". I take the statement to use the "Senegaleze embassy on UK soil" thing as simply an "illustration" of the actual relationship. In sum, the original statement seems reasonable and simply indicates that the issue of physical location vis a vis country of charter does constitute the issue that has been made of it, at least as regards St. Christopher's.

I see... Applying the Clinton spin technique... Let see how many will fall for that.

So if I murdered somebody in the anatomy lab, the Brits couldn't arrest me?
But the students would get to lash you to a stake and stone you to death...

And the school will save money by buying one less cadaver.


Oh darn, wait, they dont use cadavers (I think).

Please

Come on guys, quit digging deep into your colons to disimpact another excuse. "Like" being an embassy is stretching it really, really, really far. In fact, it is just plain stupid. If you want to buy that, then be my guest.


What it is really like is having a school chartered in one country establishing a school on the soil of another country. Although I think Senegal may be serious enough to declare war on the UK if they challenge that statement. It still depends on what the definition of the word "is" is. G

Senegal declare a war? And fight using what? Sharpened sticks, pointy rocks, and muzzle loading muskets circa the revolutionary war?

There are a few other states that have rules and regulations that mean nothing in terms of Academic prowess and standing of any institution. For example, some states want the first two years of your basic sciences completed in the country of origin of the Charter. This is true, but untrue. If a Government, like ours, states that the satalite campus in an extension of the school in the original country, and that the Board of Directors for the school include the Government Ministers themselves, and that St Christopher's College of Medicine is in actual fact Senegalese soil, the rule regarding being in the country of origin does not apply. Its like the US having an embassy in London, this building is considered US soil, even though its really UK soil. If a Government does not grant this status for a school, the rule does apply.

A qoute from Mr.****s email

Does anybody know if this is acually true?if it is doesnt that mean that an SC grad. wont have problems getting licensed in most states?
