What is the difference between American University Of Antigua and Trinity School Of Medicine
One is in Antigua, the other in St. Vincent. Otherwise, not much. Not much is different.
Before you pick a school do your research (review the accreditation of the school, how many graduates, match rate, USMLE pass rate). Please do not base one of the biggest decisions...
You seem to know what this means. Please explain.
(Hint: there is only a single accreditation that matters on that page. And Trinity also has it.)
Not arguing that the California BOM approval doesn't matter, but this is not an "accreditation". And, it can be pulled at any time by the California BOM for any school, U.S. or foreign.

If you know you will be able to obtain loans for all four years, Trinity SOM is a much better medical school. They are run by good people with vast stateside medical school experience, have a good record of matching into residencies, and not many people fail classes. I would never recommend going to AUA, even if it is your only option. 3/4 of the students have to retake a semester/year. It seems just like a cold hearted money making scheme to me. Trinity is considerably harder to finance, as AUA students can fill out the FAFSA, but it takes a long time to receive the aid at AUA. At Trinity, the aid is there before the start of the semester. At AUA the odds of leaving the school with a residency are quite a bit lower than at Trinity. At Trinity, I would say it is around 70%, AUA much much lower. It comes down to who runs the school. Lastly, AUA does have better facilities.
I am a student there. It is a good place, honestly. How they market it is how the place really is.
Only two posts, both in this thread?I am a student there. It is a good place, honestly. How they market it is how the place really is.
For a lot of the students California and NY state approval does matter so I am just stating those facts. Also you are correct that at anytime the states could revoke those approvals but usually unless there is gross negligence a school would get a warning to correct its issues. So when and if that ever happens people would know.
There is no such thing as California approval anymore. The state of California just removed their state approval/disapproval list and will now follow the ECFMG rules. This goes into effect in 2020. NY approval doesn't matter unless you want to do all of your cores there, in which case you should go to medical school in NY.
Do you have a link with this? So any Caribbean school with regional accreditation that passes ECFMG muster will have no states off limits?
Please ignore Skip intro, he is an old, sad man who doesn't know what is happening in the medical education field today.Please just ignore Caribpro (a.k.a. "aformerstudent"). This person is a meddler who posts half-truths and generally does not know what he/she is talking about.
The California list of approved schools can be found here:
There are also several states who maintain comity with California's rules. So, if your school is not on this list, you're gonna have problems in that state too.

However, effectively the same hurdles will still apply. If the school is not already equivalent to a U.S. education, you will not get a license as evidenced by these hurdles.
So, while this is technically correct, this new law basically mirrors how New York has been operating for decades. Actually, thanks for sharing this, Caribpro (a.k.a. "aformerstudent"). Even though you still did it sloppily, as per usual.
And it is NOT how NY has been doing it.
Graduates of Non-accredited Medical ProgramsPlease just go away. Please. You are a liar (see this thread). You have already been banned from this forum (twice). You are a failure/dropout. And you are nothing more than a meddler with an agenda.
Satisfactory completion of the following:
NYS Medicine:License Requirements
- A curriculum of not less than 32 months (4 academic years) in a medical program recognized as an acceptable educational program for physicians by the appropriate civil authorities of the country in which the school is located and receipt of the degree of Doctor of Medicine, Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, or the equivalent as determined by the Department. You must complete the final year of medical education at the school that awarded you the degree.
- A satisfactory proficiency examination. Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) certification will satisfy this requirement.

I'm having a really hard time believing you graduated medical school considering you can't read an entire webpage comprehensively.
Read. the. rest. of. the. website.
"Graduates of Non-accredited Medical Programs
If you did not graduate from a NYS-registered or LCME- or AOA-accredited medical program, you must complete at least three years of postgraduate hospital training in an accredited residency program approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, the American Osteopathic Association, or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. "
There are laws about getting residencies in NY state, but they aren't enforced. The only real rules that are enforced are relating to clerkships.
you're just speaking out your @$$ lol. you were wrong and you can't admit it. sad.The part you highlight has to do with securing a permanent, independent license to practice medicine, which requires 3 years of ACGME-approved post-graduate training. I’m speaking about apples; you are throwing oranges.
Who’s confused?

... this is your posting pattern. You boldly make some proclamation that you falsely believe is irrefutable. Then, you don’t address the questions you’re asked, you change the subject, you post half-truths, the gist of whatever point you’re trying to make is usually only partially correct, and then when your inaccuracies are called out or you’re asked to clarify something you start hurling insults. And, finally you’re a liar.
