Untitled

Looks fairly neutral to me, but there is vast amounts of information that could be entered, perhaps to make it look like St. George University's wiki page.

Self-published source

someone has complained that the university's claim that they've had over 120 residents in Canada and US alone is a 'self-published source' ... but I looked at the source and it has names of every resident and which placement they were at, so it's definitely verifyable information. One could track down these placements and check whether or not the information is correct if they really wanted to. This statistic is definitely useful for med school applicants from Canada and the US because getting placements in their home country is a concern for people applying to international schools. I'd say leave it in, it's the reason why Wikipedia exists. Dr. Universe (talk) 15:03, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No references

There are no references for any of the claims, thus the article is currently not verified. I will begin this process. Bstone 16:22, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Added a whole bunch. Still looking for a website for the ACCM. Anyone know where to find it? Google reveals almost nothing. Bstone 20:40, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added more references and increased the information on the accreditation page. I also added a nifty info box to the right hand side. I think we do need an up to date picture of the school (which actually shows the school). The old picture shows the new building under construction. We've come a long ways baby! Also need to add the Saba logo on the info page. Might want to include a information on student life and tuition costs to futher make it look like a real University's Wikpiedia page. Spongiosum (talk) 20:27, 1 November 2009 (UTC) I also included coordinate information for the school. Removed the tags looking for coordinates and removed stub status. It`s not so stubby any more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spongiosum (talk • contribs) 21:23, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of owners' fraud charges

I've removed the following text from the article lead:

Although purported as a caribbean medical school, it was recently revealed that the school was involved in a major tax evasion and money laundering conspiracy through the previous owners. ^[1] ^[2]

References

I've removed it for a number of reasons. First, it does not belong in the intro to the article because it is not discussed anywhere else in the article. Second, it's a matter of undue weight to the school: while the owners used the school as a tax shelter and funneled money through it, there's nothing in the articles that implicate the school in any wrongdoing. To say it's "purported as" a school calls its educational credentials into question. The tax fraud charges might warrant a mention in the history section, but even there, I'm not sure it affects the school overall. —C.Fred (talk) 14:03, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

USMLE Results and Residencies

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. Some or all of the changes weren't supported by neutral, independent, reliable sources. Consider re-submitting with content based on media, books and scholarly works.

Good afternoon,

I am employed by Global University Systems (GUS) - the company that owns Saba University; my Conflict of Interest (please see my Talk Page for all COIs).

I would like to request that a section titled ‘Academic outcomes’ be added to Saba University’s Wikipedia page with the following sentences below:

‘Saba University has self-reported an average first-time pass rate on USMLE Step 1 of 99% between 2015 and 2019.’ ^[1]

‘Saba University has also self-reported a residency attainment rate of 94% between 2013 and 2018. A 2020 report by the university, stated that students had gained residencies at hospitals including New York Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital Medical Center of Chicago and University of Pennsylvania Medical Center.’ ^[2]

^[3].

Any insight from Editors is appreciated.

MsAttempt (talk) 11:37, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done More reliable sources are going to be needed. Is there any report that substainiates the info on the website? P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 01:49, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The wikipedia pages of other Caribbean schools have an Acadmic Outcomes section that cites data compiled by the US Department of Education. It is reasonable to add it to this article. I will find the data for Saba and add it.
