There is no Loophole, in the USA you can go to a 6 or 7year medical school program from Highschool and end up with only 90 Credit hours and no MCAT, few can do it but it is done everyday by some.

Now around the world, Medical school is entered after highschool, so 5 and 6 year programs are common place most if not all are 6 year programs but the US decided to define what a school year is and that is 2 x 16 week semesters, Is not a US college semester 17 to 18 weeks max of instruction (I'm not counting vacations) there are no real breaks in the rest of the world except Christmas time, the rest of the time you get 10 to 14 days off max between semesters. MCAT is only for the USA medical schools and has nothing to do with Lic.

( I did 4 semesters 16 weeks apiece in Basic Sci so that = 2 years I will do an additional 6 semesters = 3 more years of Med school above the Min, (already have semester time done)

Look I'm not saying WIndosr is a bad school or anything but I'm saying that you have to look after yourself you have a long life ahead of you make it a good one!

If WIndsor provides the 6yr MD experience then it can be OK.

you should go and ask the local indian/south asian or east asian doctor in your community how many hours of undergrad he did......they're all licensed

5 years - 10 semester of med school usually

yes this is true. Its what I'm saying and that program is fine, I just have to wonder if all the schools in the Caribbean understand that the "6yr" program has to have a certain amount of credit hours to make the MD degree pass the states requirements, I once heard of something like a year of premed and then MD1 thats not enough.

instead of arguing on here, please call the Illinois Medical Board itself. I called and got my answer, alQ, please find out for yourself and stop basing your education on south indian uncles.

What school did those Indian docs in your community come from?

I bet it was not Windsor. So therefore your point does not hold much validity.

You want to hold on to belief and avoid calling your local board to confirm information AlQ? Its fine.

I think the point is this

Call a few states boards and make sure you can practice in more than the one state

You can check each states rules and Laws for FMG/IMG Medical Grads online through the states Boards, if you call 90% of the time you just get someone who's job is to answer the phone and has no idea of the laws and rules really, the state boards does a lot more then just answer these questions
