Thread: "Warning to Students: NO real change at SCIMD"

As someone who has intimitely spoken with and known the former dean of St. Chris, FS, he has told you in strict confidence that a member of the current administration, a female by then name of RI (whose daughter goes to St. Chris) is in WEEKLY contact with the former fake "doctor" and "founder" of this school, St. Christopher's college of medicine.
Students wanting confirmation are encouraged to either speak with:
a) the Senegal administration at the number that ST Chris Rep/Gubica posted
b) JP who can verify this information
c.) JP's former firm which was suing PL on behalf of the students whose money he stole.

There is NO reason for any prospective student/or former student to believe that anything has changed unless and until St. Chris IMD cleans up his act and verifies the level and extent of the relationship between RI (a member of the staff and administration of SCIMD) and the now thoroughly discredited PL.

P.S. You can pm me for more info in this matter, I will be happy to shed more info in this matter.

Great first post by the way... Please remove all names and references to names from other sites as you did not ask for permission to use them. Your post has been reported to site admin to have them removed.

To clarify a few things... and i really hate having to state the obvious... if RI wants to talk to PL daily... there is no law or rule against that. Even if she wants to visit him daily... no problems... There is nothing that she could possibly tell him that isn't publically available on the internet...

SCIMD has nothing to hide at this point... Hiding things is what resulted in the major blow up at the school. This is the only reason that I am here on this site is to try and give out facs.. as stated before... I get no money for this... I get nothing from the school for coming online and replying to these posts. I have completed all my training and work full time... I do this because i believe the school is trying hard to work at rebuilding honestly.

If you feel there is something being hidden.. please post here and I will do the best I can to prove things, if i can't i will say so. If you notice my posting pattern i have not posted speculation in anyway as a fact. Thing I post can be verrified through provided government website.

To say that things have not changed is also not accurate.. the school is actively working to improve things....

Please note on page 44 "Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine Limited" has been upgraded from a B tier school to an A... things are actively changing

Moderators or admin please lock this thread as nothing constructive will come out of it.. also please remove names and references to other web user names from the first post.

Hold on. Something doesn't add up.

If the Senegal administration has a problem with this why don't they just fire RI? That is completely within their power, obviously they must be signing her paychecks since they are where the buck stops.

Why would the administration of SCIMD be willing to discuss this with random people calling after reading a post on the internet? I have no doubt they have better things to do with their time.

None of this makes any sense.

Also, I'm rather surprised. I had almost no doubt that our SCIMD Official here was indeed Gubica. Obviously, from what's posted above, that's not true. Huh, now I'm back to square one on that front.

very true... they could fire her if it was a problem. As you can see SCIMD is trying hard not to hide anything. There is no information that RI could give to anyone including PL that could be of use. Even in the context on any legal action. I've had many interactions with RI and she does her job just fine.

Agreed

This leads to the fact that the internet is an anonymous medium. The OP may be PL or RI or maybe one of my alter egos looking for a conversation, but it doesn't matter who that person is. Everything posted on here by anyone is 100% speculation until it can be proven. As much as I can help it... there will be no more "sent by special delivery" ... or "the president himself is calling the GMC". If i say something like that and not provide a tracking number... or some kind of proof as to my statement... let the virtual slappings begin.

I normally do not post on this website, I feel ValueMD is for potential students and students who did not pass their USMLE to vent and blame other people for their failures. I was asked to do so to set the record straight so here I am. I fully expect these facts to be mixed with some lies and altered in some way so take it for what it’s worth. Regardless, what I have written here is the truth.

I am a PGY 2 in Illinois my name H.A. When I was offered a PGY1 position I was required to file all my clinical information with the state licensure department. This included signed contract agreements between SCCM and the hospitals I completed my clinical rotations at. At this time I first contacted R.I. who referred me to the Atlanta office because she didn’t have the records I need. I then contacted Dr. C.S. in Atlanta the current Dean at the time. He informed me he has done this in the past and would be happy to do it for me but he was leaving SCIMD and had sent all the records to Senegal. I then contacted Mrs. C (the registrar in Senegal) who told me I had to pay a fee in excess of $1000.00. Of course I argued and complained but sent the money anyway. Literally, 6 weeks later she told me they do not have the contracts between SCCM and the Hospitals. To add insult to injury they refused to return my money. I was very upset because Dr. C.S. told me had had done this in the past and sent everything to Senegal.

I then in desperation and fear that I would lose my residency contacted the hospitals themselves. I was told by three of the four hospitals I rotated at that they would not release the information because F.S. (who by the way was never a Dean but was the CFO and accountant) did not pay them for student clinical rotations after he took over the program and changed the name of the school to SCIMD. So the only way they would release the information was if they received a check from F.S. or from Senegal. The fourth hospital claimed they no longer had a copy of the contract.

Through all this I was in constant contact with R.I. who mostly calmed me down and directed me through each step to get this information. Might I add she also make every attempt to get this info from the school for me. As a last resort she offered to contact Dr. P.L. who she said has helped several students frustrated with SCIMD in my same position. Finally, I was able to speak with Dr. L on the phone and he was currently helping three other students in my same position. Dr. L. said he didn’t keep copies of the contracts with the hospitals but would contact them because he had a good relationship with them. He also told me at the time his contact with R.I was totally professional and to help students only.

The bottom line is that the licensure dept in Illinois had all the contracts by the end of the week. I started my residency and R.I. or Dr. L. didn’t charge me a penny. If SCIMD fires R.I. the students will lose their only advocate and their last chance to solve complicated problems.

If you like you can PM or IM or whatever they do on this website and if and when I get a chance I might respond provided you have an intelligent question and are not looking to spread lies and rumors. As far as JP verifying this info, good luck. JP is simply a bitter student that has not passed his USMLE and is angry and in need of blaming others for his failures. I was one of the people he would send his emails to solicit money from (and before him J.F., who finally got a job thank goodness). So if SCIMD fires R.I. it will be the worst thing that could happen to the students.

Congrats on your residency. RI being fired is a rumor that started on here by the original poster. Mind you i am no where near a position in SCIMD to know if she is about to be fired or not, but she is still there as of today, still doing what she has always done.

If it took having her make a phone call to PL for you to get where you are, no one cares or will fault her for that because it was a nice thing to do in order to help you out, when the school couldn't help.

There will be many many more rumors started here on value md... some may be true, but the majority will not be. Keep working hard in residency and then try to help others once you're done.

If you are not part of the internal students forum I would encourage you to join as this will hopefully be a link to new students that you could help with your experience in the system.

if you are interested in joining, please send me a pm and I will provide you with an e-mail for a few of the people running the student forum who can help you join.

I agree 100% with PGY2 & SCIMD Official. Every interaction I have had with RI has been perfectly professional. She has been very helpful, a light in what has sometimes otherwise been a very bleak situation.

I have heard from a small core of people a number of nasty, and sometimes outright slanderous accusations against RI, but it was always the same small group of people with all the complaints and stories and never anyone else. This group has always struck me as a particularly whiny bunch of jerks so I never really paid any attention to them.

Just my 2p.

P.S. Also, before the accusations start to fly, no, I am not RI, nor am I PL, FS, CS, PC, JF, JM, JP, or Jesus Christ (I figure we are allowed to spell out that name). I am neither friend nor family to RI. I do not now nor have I ever worked for or been a member of the administration for SCIMD, SCCM, ACIS, GMC, ECFMG, FSMB, FCC, GFYS, or any other organization, governmental or otherwise, that has anything to do with SCCM or SCIMD in any way.

I agree that RI has been very helpful to some students HOWEVER her interaction with PL is NOT acceptable nor justifiable as it completely destroys the credibility of the school. The school is in the situation it is in because of PL and keeping in touch with him serves NO PURPOSE as he has been INFAMOUSLY PROVEN to be nothing but TROUBLE for the thousand or so students who attended SCCM. Having his name associated with any SCIMD official will only make State Medical Boards and SCIMD's critics here on ValueMD more upset. Now please don't follow this post with a "I Love PL" or "PL is really a cool dude" thread. We already obviously know RI has people vouching for her here on ValueMD. Also, please don't lock this thread or put me in violation for speaking the honest truth. This is a democracy and not China!!

It never ceases to amaze me how many single digit posters we manage to get in this forum...
