I thought it was when 4 years of med school are over, but someone told me its during orientation?

No on both, White Coat is graduation from Basic Sciences, After 2 years of Medical school. In other Schools you Take Step 1 and then go to Clinicals for the last 2 years of school. Now at St. Chris you will go to 5th semester after White coat Which is Intro to clinical med and Physical Diagnosis.

Cheers.

Some schools do their white coat their first day, representing the entrance into medical studies. We don't do it that way. We do it to represent the transition from basic sciences to clinical studies.

Well, US med schools do the white coat ceremony at the start of med school because getting into a US med school actually means, in 90 percent of cases anyway, both that you're qualified to be a doctor and that you will be a doctor.

Attending St Chris means neither of those things. If anything, you should move your white coat ceremony to after graduation when and if anyone from your unlicensed, unaccredited school is actually granted a residency.

Uh-oh, here we go....

Mmm...that whole post was troll-licious. Nevermind that people have gotten licensed (one of them being posted up here), and nevermind that we have people in residency. Awww...too bad, nice try. Keep trying for the troll hall of fame though. Speaking of which, we should have one of those.

This of course is an opinion:

St. Christophers is an offshore Foriegn Medical school, Chartered by Senegal, WHO, and IMED listed.

Foriegn Medical schools are chartered not accredited by any body from the United States nor Lic by them. Sorry but what was stated was not a fact.

Cheers

What he should have said is that St. Chris is not UK chartered and not under the supervision of the UK medical college evaluation system. He is incorrect obviously when he says you aren't chartered: St. Chris is chartered in Senegal and indeed IMED/Who recognized in Senegal. Its recognition does not mention the UK officially but one assumes that a satellite school is part of that recognition. We'll all know more when NY finishes its evaluation of Senegal, which it must do to approve or reject St. Chris.

Well I'm very tired of this debate, On the St. Chris Web site it states the School is chartered in Senegal, the GMC in England has:

From their web site:

http://www.gmc-uk.org/med_ed/default.htm


This institution currently awards degrees from the St. Christopher's College of Medicine, Senegal which is WHO listed and therefore we accept its degrees for the purpose of registration.


So it looks as if they "Recognise" St. Chris and know where the school is from.

I see that there are many Carrib school who are not "accredited by the US also."

Cheers

You are really off base in the fact that just because you are accepted into med school in the US it DOES NOT MAKE YOU A DOCTOR! Passing the USLME steps 1 and 2 and actual grad from med school makes you a doctor! Thats true everywhere! How arrogant an wrong!
