Doctors graduating from banned schools allowed to practice medicine in
the U.S.
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
If you've ever wondered why doctor care is so atrocious in the U.S.
medical system, with doctor-prescribed drugs now the third leading cause
of death in the country, part of the answer might be that some doctors
shouldn't be practicing in the first place. The U.S. medical system
allows doctors who graduated from banned offshore medical schools (in
the Dominican Republic, for example) to "play doctor" right here in the
USA.
Report: Banned Schools Still Graduate MDs Mon Dec 15, 7:36 AM ET
HARTFORD, Conn.
Inconsistent licensing rules among states allow nearly 900 doctors to
pursue careers after graduating offshore medical schools that have not
been accredited in the United States, the newspaper reported as part of
a series examining problems in medical education and practices.
Graduates of Spartan Health Sciences University on the Caribbean
island of St. Lucia and two schools in the Dominican Republic --- the
Universidad Tecnologica de Santiago and the Universidad Eugenio Maria de
Hostos --- are banned in at least six states.
Only a few of 1,642 medical schools outside the United States and
listed by the World Health Organization (news - web sites) have been
banned by a U.S. medical board.
