Fishy or innovative?

Probably fishy, but also innovative.

Learning this way would be exactly the same as what all the home-schoolers do. You would miss out big time on the social aspect of medical school, and wouldn't really get much of the medical culture until clerkship, but from purely academic point of view I can't see it making much of a difference.

How about Anatomy? I would venture to say you would have a VERY VERY hard time getting a residency from one of these joke places. Do they publish their match list, I bet not!

It appears to be a caribbean med school, only online. And EF has a really good point about anatomy. That's scary - someone getting licensed without setting foot on campus!!!

I hear that UC Berkley no longer teaches anatomy with cadavers. Their students are doing just fine with residency.

UC Berkley also doesn't have a medical school....i hope their students are getting any residencies
