why would Ross be on that list? I thought they had grads practicing in Oregon
That's not the Ross we know and operates Ross Univ SOM. The "Ross" on the list is listed under St.Kitts.

The school is in the process of having senegal send over all the neccesary documents to prove our accreditation and licensability in Senegal. Unfortunately, all of the info must come from senegal themselves... and we all know how inefficient third world governments can be.

The person in the NJ office heading this up is Mr. Cundiff. Contact him with more questions about the his progress.
LOL! What did you say about SMU and Indiana? Something about "that's what they've been saying forever." Seems apt here. LOL!

BTW, CA is coming to SMU next week.

How's the NJ situation coming along? LOL

Please note that the organization that wrote that comment is the UK higher education governance, not the GMC. This has nothing to do with being licensed in the UK with a foriegn degree. If any other non-UK school was inquired about in the same fashion, they would get the same response since they would not be an accreditted UK institution. The school has never claimed to be that though, we are a senegalese school with a branch campus in England. Since Oregon could not find out from Senegal that we were accreditted when it did its first superficial look, we now have to play catch up to fix the error. Is it surprising that senegal has problems with dissemination of needed information... not in the slightest. However, once Oregon has the proper information from the senegalese government, we will be taken off of that list.
well, any state MEDICAL board is going to get the same treatment when they try to confirm St. Chris's legal standing and the graduates legal standing to practice....interesting problem there.

fries with that
you know you might not be far off with the cooking school crack.

in some states, flipping burgers at the hospital McDonald's is about as close to the action as you're going to get, if this or any school has licensure difficulty related to funny business with the charter

Well, with unlicensed illegal aliens running the show in parts of california now, I think I would rather flip burgers than practice medicine in Cali... probably more respected .
