Table

Lots of formatting problems with the section on Guyanese schools. I don't have the knowledge to reformat that area without retyping the whole thing. If someone has more expertise... — Preceding unsigned comment added by TexianDoc (talk • contribs) 19:14, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Bad

Bad article-- ignores the obvious questions: Why do people go to offshore medical schools? Why are they all in the Caribbean? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.96.23.157 (talk) 17:45, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Tis is not an offshore medical school article. Refer to Offshore medical school — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.49.184.175 (talk) 18:16, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Which agencies to list under "Accreditation"?

The FAIMER Directory of Organizations that Recognize/Accredit Medical Schools (DORA) indicates which accrediting agencies are recognized by various governments; however, some accrediting agencies recognized in one country have accredited schools in other countries where they are not the officially recognized DORA agency.

This sentence is not actually correct: For example, ACCM is the recognized accrediting agency in the Cayman Islands, but NOT in Saint Kitts and Nevis; however, ACCM has accredited a Nevis school. Should ACCM be listed under the "Accreditation" column for the Nevis school?

The facts are: ACCM has been appointed as the medical accrediting body by the government of St. Maarten, Cayman Islands and the Federation of St. Kitts & Nevis, Aruba and Jordan. Not every school located in these countries has to be accredited by ACCM, that is up to the school to decide. The following schools are accredited by ACCM:

• St. Maarten: American University of the Caribbean (recognized by NCFMEA)https://sites.ed.gov/ncfmea/comparability-decisions/
• Saba - this is under NVAO due to giving up their independence and becoming a Dutch territory once more.
• Cayman Islands - Grand Cayman: St. Matthew's University (recognized by NCFMEA)https://sites.ed.gov/ncfmea/comparability-decisions/
• Nevis: Medical University of the Americas (recognized by NCFMEA)https://sites.ed.gov/ncfmea/comparability-decisions/
• St. Kitts: University of Medicine and Health Sciences (applied for recognition by NCFMEA)
• Jordan: University of Jordan ACCMCB

ACCM now also lists as accredited:

• Xavier University School of Medicine in Aruba
• Avalon University School of Medicine in Curaçao
• All Saints University School of Medicine in Dominca
• At. James School of Medicince in Anguilla & St. Vincent & the Grenadines WayneBu (talk) 04:39, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Also, I'm wondering whether to leave the schools without FAIMER-recognized accreditation blank or to list them as "unaccredited" or "not accredited". Thoughts? aqwfyj ^Talk/_Contribs 17:17, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

I would say add all accreditation's, if it exists without recognition of the host country add a * or a [1] or something and a note at the bottom. I also think a blank entry or "no known accreditation" is the best option as it is the most accurate.Tmckeage (talk) 10:41, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

I agree with Tmckeage. Furthermore, I have seen some list on Wikipedia that have cells colour coded. Perhaps you could do that here with the accredidation column. I would recommend having 3 colours. One for accredited recognized by its home country, one for recognition only by a foreign govenment and one for no accredidation. Eomund (talk) 23:28, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

This section is incorrect: Those schools that do not receive accreditation from CAAM-HP or another regional accrediting body recognized by the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME)[5] will not be eligible for ECFMG certification. This means that the students will be able to complete neither USMLE examinations nor MCCQE; and therefore will not be able to become United States or Canadian doctors, if their school is not certified by the year 2023.[6]

It should read: While CAAM-HP was established in 2003, another medical accrediting body was established in 1994, the Accreditation Commission on Colleges of Medicine (ACCM). This body represents the Governments of St. Maarten, Grand Cayman and the Confederation of St. Kitts and Nevis. Those schools that do not receive accreditation from CAAM-HP, ACCM or other accrediting bodies recognized by the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME)[5] will not be eligible for ECFMG certification. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ACCMCB (talk • contribs) 14:44, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Also why is Sint Maarten not listed together with the American University of the Caribbean accredited by ACCM? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ACCMCB (talk • contribs) 14:48, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Some of the institutions under "Other accreditations" are actually only "registered" by those agencies. For example, the National Accreditation Council of Guyana has only one accredited institution and it is not a medical school WayneBu (talk) 06:22, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

The FAIMER Directory of Organizations that Recognize/Accredit Medical Schools (DORA) indicates which accrediting agencies are recognized. The table has been updated by removing non-accrediting agencies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.49.184.175 (talk) 01:38, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
