of course that is not exactley what you said, but I have been around long enough to be able to read between the lines. Politicians, even internet ones, are the same the world over.

You can't be anymore explicit than say you support the decisions of the GMC.

This has been the biggest concern of many since SC came onto the scene. A med school operating on soil where it isn't chartered, and has no official nod to operate as a med school. I brought this very topic up on Network54 with Duncan McLeod (spp?). I also brought it up early in VMDs existence. If SC survives, it can only strengthen the position of the school. If the GMC rules against SC, I believe the school will likely be scrutinized by the US, and that there will be a great deal of trouble with licensure in the future. Since I am an IMG, and have been in the shoes of people making the sacrafices needed to attend med school in another country, I am hoping that SC comes through OK. I don't want to see the students get hurt. I also think that the admin of SC has been less than honest with the students on several important points. BTS, they have put you in bad situations before, and you have taken a lot of flak because of it. I hope this isn't another one of those instances. Let's just wait and see what happens. G

What are the current basic sciences and clinical sciences students doing, after such a dreadful GMC decision regarding the St. Chris's status in UK?

Are current basic sci students considering to transfer out of the program in droves?

How about the current clinical sciences students? Has the GMC decision affected any of you? If not, is it just a matter of time, before you will be yanked out of your rotations as well, just like the ones in UK?

Perhaps the St. Chris cheerleaders can now answer these questions?

Documents? Documents? One last time DOCUMENTS? How silly.

This isn't a matter of submitting documents - you are under investigation sister. They don't just ring you up and say, 'ohhhhhh, you have the paperwork...we're sooooo sorry, come on down after the holidays and we'll reinstate you guys - our bad.

The GMC isn't even speaking to you - they are digging into the last 7 years since you became an entity. Doing background checks, following leads and seeing if there has been any criminal activity going on a.k.a. fraudulent activity. You guys know less than we do.

Once the investigation is over you will either:

A. Ceast to exist as a college or

B. Be allowed to remain in England

I'm not betting either way. I just don't like to see things get spun. The truth is always best. And the truth is you are spreading rumors to give students false hope.

THEY HAVE TODAY ALREADY CHANGES IT BACK TO INVESTIGATING

The fact they changed it in the first place could be an ominous sign, eh?

You've done it three times now. Please stop sending me private messages. I am not your friend D. You have the wrong person. Thank you!

While I tend to agree, I'd be more impressed with the decision process if the changes in verbiage had been school specific. As it was, the same wording was used for every school that was under investigation, which suggests that the change was an administrative decision as opposed to the resolution of a specific investigation.

There appear to be a few people eager to dance on the grave of SC (and I specifically do not mean Az, Neil or George). I won't claim to speak for others, but I don't think you'll find your comments appreciated by most of the people who post on VMD. Your self-aggrandizement is infantile and that you use the occasion of SC's difficulties is deplorable.
