CA's recognized medical school list is full of bias, errors, political agenda.

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

So I did a little research online, and found this one.

http://www.medbd.ca.gov/Applicant_Schools_Recognized.htm


1. I can't believe what I found, they have the Chinese province - Taiwan listed as "Republic of Taiwan"。

Not even the Taiwan government dares to use that name, their official name is "Republic of China." I suggest the board corrects this mistake ASAP before the Chinese government makes an official complain to the US government.

2. And it has listed two medical schools from Cuba. How can the California board possibly approve those two schools when the US government officially bans its own citizens even visiting that country? The California medical board is an official government agent. They are certainly banned to make any official contacts with the Cuban government. So we can conclude that the board approved those two medical schools without even visiting those two sites.

3. Further, the board did not approve any of the medical schools in North Korea. Does that suggest all those medical schools in North Korea have no standard? All students graduate from those medical schools know nothing about medicine?

Therefore, we can say “Our decisions are totally blind to issues of race, creed, color, religion, etc.” is not true. As we can conclude from the three examples, clearly, this thing is very biased. It is not based on equal treatment at all.

Further, did the board members actually visit all those medical schools listed on the web site? Not really, Cuba is an example. And can the board guarantee that all students graduate from those schools are well taught? No, they obviously can not.

SMU has produced many well qualified physicians that are successfully practicing medicine in many other states. If they can do well in other states, what more does the board need to approve their licenses? How can the board ban those well qualified physicians for lifetime? Please remember, “All men are created equal.” Our country is a land of opportunity.

If the state wants to regulate medicine, how come the state is not regulating the nursing schools across the world? Shouldn’t the board review all nursing schools “for the public’s protection?” Simple mistakes from a nurse can easily kill a patient.

In conclusion, it is obvious that this entire thing is very biased. So we should keep on sending our requests for our state officials, let them know our concerns. I have already done my part, so I suggest all students do the same. A journey of thousands of miles starts with a single step. Together we shall prevail!
 
I posted this above note on another site about a few months ago, the california board members read that forum often. so they knew that they made a serious political statement by calling taiwan as the republic. Yet they refused to change.

So I contacted the Chinese consulate via email. The chinese cosulate sent an email to the board. The board changed its list in less than a week! almost instantly!

So as you can see, even though the board members are suppose to work for the people of california, however, they ignore people's request. They are just bunch of paper tigers, who are good at nothing, but bully at innocent california international medical students.

You seem to fail to realise who the board are...
they are the MEDICAL BOARD OF CALIFORNIA, hence they are a licensing body. They decide who becomes licensed to practice medicine in the state of California for allopaths. They can decide what their standards will be.
If you don't like their standards don't practice there.

You have too much free time contacting the Chinese consulate general. They are the medical board, not the state department.

While you're at it, why don't you contact the British High Commission and Irish High Commission in Ottawa. They have listed lumped medical schools of Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State all under "Ireland."

US citizens are allowed to study medicine in Cuba with permission from the state department.

I believe there is a separate nursing board that regulates nursing. Their website can be found here.

There is also an osteopathic medical board which regulates osteopathic licenses. Their website is here. California has more than one osteopathic school.

Wales is a country. It is one of the constituent countries of the United Kingdom which include Wales, England, Scotland, and the province of Northern Ireland. Learn more about the United Kingdom's constituent countries and about Wales here.

They may be paper tigers but they are paper tigers you need to impress.
 
F*ck you, you communist dog!

Taiwan is by all practical standards an independent country. If you like communism so much, go back to China. It amazes me that after all the human rights violations and state censorship, some people still don't see the need for political reform in China. Taiwan is a model of democracy and economic success, and you goddamn commies can learn a thing or two from us.

It's bastards like you that threatens the peace and security of Asia, and for all your posturing about how "Taiwan is a province of China," it's just jealousy and insecurity manifesting itself.

S.U.C.K. on my Taiwanese c*ck!
