Who hasn't stopped the list. Check with them. They are behind on updates but govts continue to depend on them.

They contemplated getting out of the business of listing but apparently changed their minds. For what the list does, they are as good as gone since they DO NOT ACCREDIT anything.

Read my reply carefully, I don't care if the school is functioning or not.

It does matter, there are some WHO listed schools that are not funtioning!
Kigezi still is listed for example

I could care less about Kigezi as well. And your point proves what I am saying, that the WHO is USELESS and an exploited marketing tool by some schools.

Anything else?

I don't understand your point? I agree WHO only "Lists" a school so if it is reported to WHO by the country of charter then it's on the list. It is only a list and does nothing to if the school is functioning or not. So.....I agree with you why post like I don't? Xavier has not made it clear if they have been put on the upcoming list since AZ claims WHO has decided to continue the list.

The list does matter if you want a Lic in many places.

Yes, I understand the above, and like you and some (many??), I am surprised that being listed in the W.H.O. is a requisit for anything (besides picking boogers outta your nose), especially when it's demanded by a Professional Organization or let me correct, demanded by a Professional Medical Body of any sort.

Be the above as it may, responsible student's that contribute to these forums can do their part to educate the rest as to why the W.H.O. does not mean anything of importance.

It has been a PROVEN FACT that the W.H.O. and its list can be violated by rougue Medical UNOTversities (medical university for the encryption challanged).

Besides; why have a list in the first place? If no accreditation or assurance of quality is given, either written or implied, then the list serves no purpose, other than to facilitate less than vertical marketing tactics.

Some universities out there, use the list as guarentee of some external standard of quality begin achieved and maintained, which is frankly a blantant lie and is misleading.

Most important thing to verify about a school:

****HOME COUNTRY CHARTER****


Important only for testing eligibility:

W.H.O. and the E.C.F.M.G. ............ important for testing elegibility.

Yes, but they did stop the list for awhile.

Governments depend on the WHO for listing? What for? Or did you mean that schools PROD and PUSH their Home Governments to list the school to attract american and or european students??? Sorry, that was not a question, it was a loaded question.

Did you mean schools depend on the W.H.O.?

many foreign govts depend on WHO listing as showing a school exists. It doesn't mean much indeed after the St. Luke problem and potentially some other problems pointed out currently but it just another part of the puzzle. As one credential evaluator told me "We use it to get the correct address but we must confirm the existence of the school with the appropriate agency. If the country doesn't have an agency overseeing medical schools, it is difficult for the graduates to license in many places".

Some other lists are used by credential evaluators also..UNESCO, IMED/FAIMER but even THOSE must be reconfirmed.

Schools that proudly list WHO and ECFMG approved are indeed not telling the whole story.
