Also, what accreditation do schools need for us Canadian citizens to return to Canada to practice? Is it MCC? Because St. James has it, but St. Eustatius doesn't.

 

I wanted to go to AUA or MUA, but I a D+ in o-chem 1 and no ochem-2.. and that'd take a whole year for me to do.

(And I can't do big 4 either.. don't have an mcat)

 

Advice?

 

Thanks guys.

All foreign schools need to be listed with IMED to be eligible to write MCCEE and apply to residency positions.

No school outside Canada and the US is accredited by the LMCE and MCC, you may be authorized to get residency and write the board exams, but you will be still considered as an IMG.

All you technically need is to be listed on the IMED/WHO list of medical schools for Canada. This is ironic considering how strict Canada's stance is on IMGs. In the US many states do their own site visits and accreditations of foreign medical schools. If your school isn't on their list you can't get licensed to practice there.

 

Neither schools you have listed are accredited by any of the US states although for Canada you would technically have a shot at returning.

WHat?!

 

I thought IMED/WHO gives accreditation to do residency/practice in like 45+ states?

 

I thought it's only NY, Cali that give separate accreditation.

NY,Cali,Texas,Florida,Ohio,Missouri,Kansas, and possibly others. Many states adopt California's accreditation list and more are starting to go this way.

 

At any rate, it doesn't matter if you are planning to return to Canada. Except that it should make you suspicious about attending these schools that don't have accreditation by credible third-party organizations.

Is this just me that find strange the fact an IMG(or a potential IMG) is certain s/he would take the way of an IMG, while not being enough informed about how it seems like coming back as IMG ?
