Can some please explain me
1- what does it mean to have california approval and what states currently follow the california approval process? I think I heard there are 17 states
2- AUA's campus in KMCIC just got denied california approval and so i'm wondering what the disadvantages are of graduating from a school that doesn't have the approval?
3- What if a person graduates from a school with no california approval and starts working in the other 34 states (that don't follow the CA approval process), but then couple years down the road, more states join in and start to follow the same process, would that person not be able to practice at al then?

Thanks so much for the help!

whilst most states accept graduates from schools listed on IMED, the medical board of california has its own approval process with a more limited range of medical schools with many prestigious medical schools not on the list (as they have not applied for approval). some states have started adopting this, e.g. indiana, georgia as well. if you go to one of the fake medical schools such as the ones in the caribbean, even though they may be listed on IMED (for which there are little or no standards for inclusion actually) then you would not be able to apply in those states that use the list of schools approved by the MBC. If a school has been denied approval, but later gains it some years later, if you were there when it was denied approval you would still not be eligible for licensure in those states.
