Congrats to all who have moved on to better things...it pleases me greatly to see people realize that the short term means little if the long term suffers.

Sorry you have to repeat some time, but I strongly feel that it will not be something you regret.

All the best at your new school(s), to all the SC transfers.

And to those that are staying at SC or it's new incarnation from Belize...well, I can't even find the words...

Andes,
BTW, you take Step II (CS and CK) before you graduate. In fact, you need to take them by the end of December in your final year of med school in order to participate in Match.

There are several states that will sponsor you for Step III (apply through FSMB) as soon as you receive your med school diploma. California is one of them. I don't think you need to physically be in CA to take Step III through CMB (as far as I know), you merely need to name CA Medical Board as your sponsoring board during the process. Check into this when the time comes for you to take Step III. Starting over this fall should put you within the 7 year rule with one year to spare.

No, Saba has plenty of cores for their own students, just not st. chris transfer students. You have to find ur own cores either by ur self or with st. chris, then transfer into 4th year electives and do 42 weeks. Call saba for more info.

It is a pain in the neck to find your core rotations.
SABA can not even set up their own core rotations in the U.S for their own students ?????

I would not want to go to SABA knowing that I have to set up my own core rotations in my 3rd year.

nope, Saba arranges the cores for its 3rd year students. I know this from current clinical students. Some had to wait inbtw the rotations, but if they wanted all greenbook cores, they got them.


Perhaps Andes meant that there are no cores for the students that transfer into clincals? I guess Saba wants it make a tougher decision so that people don't transfer into clinical rotations, but just my guess.

The extra leg work is worth it for a degree from Saba. You won't be able to practice in CA because of the course work done at SC, but Saba is a stable school with a long track record. G

ICM and PD are going to be taught by Dr Neil ******, and some other SCCM graduate who is waiting for residency matches, and these classes will be taught at some chiropractic school. Now if I transfer to SMU right now, first off do you know if I will be placed in the Maine campus?? Also what classes will they make me take??? Because in their curriculum they have a class called Patient-Doctor Skills, class the SCCM does not have. I wonder if SMU will make me take that class. I tried calling them last week, but I didnt get to talk to anyone. They just gave ma a run around.
anyone have any information??
Pt-doctor skills is physical diagnosis, u take that in fifth semester in st. chris. Ur on the Cayman isalnd campus. Ur at the perfect time to transfer becasue u won't be losing anytime.

Hospitals Weed Out
Well Going Back To An Earlier Post:

Hospitals Weed Out

-that Is True If You Took Credits After St. Chris Lost Its Approval Then Those Classes Are No Good

-however According To All 50 States If You Took Classes While A School Was Accredited Those Credits Are Good (i Am Not Saying You Can Practice In All 50 That Depends On What Your School Was Approved In Prior To Its Downfall)

-but The Bottom Line All Credits Taken Prior To Loss Of Accreditation Are Good And All After Our Bogus


Good Luck

That's why I think Andes is doing the right thing by starting over from Day One at SABA.
