Yes, Dr. R..... the optometrist by training. At least he knows how to milk the cow with a degree os success for him and his students.

Forget it. His degree from the Southern School of Optometry is an honorary degree paid for by Mr. R. His first honarary degree was from Ross University. It read ROSS UNIVERSITY AWARDS THE HONORARY DEGREE
OF DOCTOR OF LAWS AND LETTERS TO ROBERT. R. ROSS and it was signed Robert. R. Ross. He took so much crap for that he decided to "donate" to the Southern School of Optometry and they gave him an honorary degree. This man has an extreme ego but he does not have an earned doctorate degree.

Subject: When are new schools added?

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am interested in several schools that have opened but are not in your online database yet.
I was wondering when these schools will be added to the on-line database? The schools I am interested in are Trinity University School of Medical in St Vincent
Thank you for the information,
JL

Thank you for your interest in the International Medical Education Directory (IMED). Before a medical school is listed in IMED, the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education or other authorized agency in the country where the school is located must write to FAIMER to request the school be listed, and to provide the following information:

• That the medical school is recognized by the government of the country for award of the medical degree

• The date on which recognition was granted

• If applicable, the university with which the medical college is affiliated.

• Whether graduates of the medical school are eligible for medical licensure in that country, and the date on which graduates of the school became, or will become eligible for medical licensure

• Whether the school has a physical campus in that country and the location (address) of the campus?

• Whether instruction has begun at the school and on what date. If instruction has not yet begun, when are classes expected to begin?

• Whether the school has a campus in any other location? If so, please specify location.

Documentation must be sent on letterhead stationery, with the name, title and signature of the authorized official, to this address:

You have asked specifically about Trinity University. I’ve been in touch with officials of Trinity University to explain what documentation we need; however, the school will not begin instruction until the fall and it can’t be listed in IMED until the government of St. Vincent confirms that instruction has begun.

FAIMER is not an accrediting body and listing of a medical school in IMED does not denote accreditation, recognition or endorsement by FAIMER.

I think this message removes my concern with Trinity. So for adventurous students who wish to be explorers, submit your applications.

since you seemed to get in touch with somebody that was willing to actually give you a well thought out answer over at imed....... i was wondering if you can email that same person about....... gasp ...... "cmu" since they already started instruction and supposedly have a charter on their website.

also if we could get the same from umhs (dr ross's school), although im suspecting this would be the same answer as the one you received for trinity.

Hey Scott, This thread is about Trinity and not any other schools. However, I do have those answers and will PM.

thats not fair.... i would like to know also whats happening with umhs... may i get a pm also

Hey - UMHS is a different forum. You can e-mail IMED yourself and ask about an unlisted school. The e-mail address is on the site. This is the Trinity forum not the UMHS or CMU forum. So the posts are about Trinity. I am sorry if you feel I am unfair. I am just not concerned with UMHS or schools in Mexico as that this is the forum about Trinity and not the other schools.
