Can you be an MD by attending this school. No science courses required to attend this school.

I'm pretty sure your degree isn't converted into an MD... you can practice though but you don't become an MD automatically. Like their website says, there's the possibility for full practice rights with an MBBS but you won't get an MD. I could be wrong thoughdoctors who study in India get the MBBS degree and when they pass their boards here they are MD's.
I've never heard of the school you mentioned but if something is too good to be true then it probably is.

Nope hes right; when you pass step 1 and 2 your MBBS becomes an MD;
My parents are FMGs from Bangladesh who graduated with an MBBS, after they finished their step 1 they were considered to be MDs
So with an MBBS, you can practice general family doctor and get paid the same?
What my master plan of course is to either work for a hosptital(stability) or start my own practice.
Is it hard to get residency with an mbbs?
Also is the first 2 years and last 2 years any different than going to a traditional us based medical school?
Actually, this is incorrect.
If you get an MBBS, then that's what you have.
In order to get a residency you need to have an MD or any foreign equivalent (which is exactly what ECFMG certification is designed to address).
There was a program in New York years ago that allowed some foreign physicians to convert a foreign degree to an MD, but that program no longer exists.
This is perhaps the poorest plan I have seen posted here on SDN.
