I have finally returned to SDN after a long absence. I started this thread some time ago and so many of you have sent me a PM or an email that it is difficult to find the time to respond. Many have asked me for an update on my personal journey so here goes. A week ago, I finished my 48 weeks...

Your points are well taken regarding cadaver dissection. That is not part of IUHS' or any school's distance learning curriculum. Sadly, traditional medical schools (some) have gone to someone else doing the cutting with students observing. I agree that something is lost in that learning...

I disagree that moving to a distance learning curriculum is a bad idea. I don't see a large scale loss of state licening happening because the distanced learning curriculum has been in place for about eight years. I would agree that if a certain state required an in residence component and...

I don't know. I met several at the student conference in Chicago last July. I personally spoke to three in doing my due diligence (not at the conference but all were in residency) before applying for admission (the 3 who were all distance learner only for basic medical science) and all of the...

Yes. The distance learning curriculum has been in place for several years now. In doing my due diligence before applying for admission nearly two years ago, I was provided names of some graduates in medical practices and in residencies in order that I may speak with them (current student...

I have received questions regarding what states have licensed IUHS graduates. The school website has been recently updated and I have copied this information from the school: "U.S. states where IUHS graduates have licensure. To date, IUHS graduates have obtained licensure in Alabama, Arizona...

I am the first guy to admit that IUHS is not for everyone. The Caribbean medical schools are not for everyone either. I hope that we can all agree that most if not all Caribbean medical students , if they could have done so, would have attended a medical school in the US. I agree that the...

I saw that quote on IUHS' FAQ pages too. The school will have to provide additional information about what it means with particularity. There is the traditional match followed by the scramble. Then, there are still graduates looking (the unmatched) and openings unfilled. There are...

I cannot speak with authority about SGU, Ross, Saba, and AUC. I have been told by more than a few students with first hand experience that a high passage rate at on the Step 1 at the "Big 4" does not take into account the attrition rate of the students who are accepted and enroll at the...

These two numbers are not inconsistent. The Step 1 exam is taken at the end of the second year. If you pass it you begin the 3rd and 4th year clinical rotations. I was surprised at the 76% passage rate on the Step 1 as believe it to be higher (at least on the last test cycle). Assuming 76%...

I am a current student at IUHS. I have started this thread to reach out to other current students who may wish to share their experiences and to prospective students who may have questions. The IUHS program: The first two years of Basic Medical Sciences is on line with live lectures. The Basic...
