Thread: how did you choose

General question for students of all schools, but more specific.....St. Chris:

What was the motivating factor for picking your school or maybe a combination of factors?

1.) Price

2.) Loans

3.) Prestige

4.) Forced by Parent

5.) Name Brand Recognition

i saw the wording in the tx licensure as "country of graduation", which i suppose could mean either UK or Senegal, depending on interpretation. i agree that senegal is the more likely candidate

That could be a problem.

That is part of what the GMC is looking at, how legitimate everything is in Senegal. When their decision is made, we will have lots of answers.

Stupid or not, it is a matter of opinions, just use what law says for your advantage. Bear in mind, there are many folks out there that for x or y reasons, maybe out of stupidity, maybe becuase it was their country of residence, end up in a school that may not be in a list of "approved" schools and that is why the laws have these loopholes so everyone can have DUE PROCESS.

Capicse???

i am sure you can nit pick around many laws and find loopholes. if you have the time and money to do such, you may even get through the loophole. however, it would be pretty stupid to go to a med school that required this sort of action in order to work.

Country of graduation means that, country of graduation. Simple interpretation Neil. Example, if you studied in Mexico, that you be elegible to get a license in Mexico, Antigua, Colombia, Senegal, China, India...etc, wherever you went to school.

There are cases of foreing schools that their students are NOT elegible to get a license in that particular country. The best example, St. Lucia. They have Spartan and Collge of Medicine and Health Sciences, and these folks CANNOT practice in St. Lucia, their government doesn't want to have anything to do with them. These are the kind of people that REALLY have a big problem.

Logically speaking, if you cannot get a license in the country you studied (besides citienship requirements) then you have a BIG problem justifying this to anyone else.

well, i would imagine that this is a huge problem for st chris. they need to speak french to be licensed in senegal. so, i would imagine not many qualify for licensure there, unless french is now a course requirement of st chris.

No Just all 50 states As they Advertise:

There are only four states in the U.S. (California, Florida, New Jersey, and New York), that have a process to evaluate, accredit and approve an international medical school's academic program for the purpose of either licensing its graduates and/or clinical and residency training in those states. Ross University is one of only a few international medical schools that received state approvals from all four.

St. Chris has been known to rent a room at the UN in NY to hold a graduation. Outside of that they rent Catholic Churches in England. Odd when you factor in the fact that they are an Islamic College.
