Here's another link to another article.

Jobs, News and Views for All of Higher Education - Inside Higher Ed :: Examining an Island Medical School

The American College of Metaphysical Theology? Yeah, right!

If you're looking for a response, you won't get one since it's the administration's FIRST priority not to respond to anything negative on valuemd.

Apparently, from all of the articles, it's also their priority not to respond to ANY of this, other than "profanity and threatening law suits". Hmmmm....I wonder why that is.....

The Pittsburgh paper mentioned improper treatment of cadavers: I would like to hear more on this one.

Apparently they're not even supposed to have cadavers.

methodology of a disaster

at what point do students get concerned when they read articles like this? Do they have action plans? If anything has been learned from the SC/Kigezi/St. Luke things it has to be that those who aren't prepared end up with some major problems. Would be interesting to hear from students but probably we won't hear anything for reasons one can imagine.

All one has to do is go to their official website to see for themselves how St. Theresa's is (they really should upgrade it, if they want their school taken more seriously). I am sure valuemd likes them, because I always see their banner on their website (along with a few other sponsoring medical schools).

I am wondering if the cadaver tissues were not placed in trash cans to be cremated with the rest of the cadaver once the students are finished dissecting? The article stated differently, it is a shame if it transpired in the manner stated in the article.

I was there, I saw it. It happened like the article said. I did not see what the final disposition of the cadaver was, though. Maybe it was the same cadaver the report who visited last fall saw....
