So this school is located in California, but for some reason this thread was moved to the Caribbean. To be clear: this school is in the USA and is seeking LCME accreditation. The LCME does not accredit schools outside of the USA/Canada.

I can't find a website or even a press release about this. Are you sure your information is correct?

Edit: I guess it is listed on the LCME website, but that's all I could find.

Yes, I found it when I checked the LCME website. I also could not find any other information- their website mentions nothing, and there's no press release. I was hoping someone on the inside might see this and have more information?

A Rich History

Since its founding by Kim Dang-Johnson and her husband Pastor Gregory Johnson in 1994, American University of Health Sciences has enjoyed a rich history. AUHS was originally founded as a Christian based, private, for profit, postsecondary education institute created to provide excellence in education for students interested in a career in healthcare, and this is a mission it still carries out to this day.

Just what we need: another private, for-profit nursing/pharmacy school that wants to excrete a MD program. AUHS doesn't even have a Wikipedia page. I hope the LCME eats this place alive.

Thanks, Northstate!

Yikes...those reviews are brutal. If they do actually move forward with the LCME, this seems like another school to be added to Goro’s “steer clear” list.
