Foreign Medical Schools Establish a Toehold in the United States.

Mangan, Katherine S.

Chronicle of Higher Education, v45 n22 pA39-A40 Feb 5 1999

Two foreign medical schools plan to open branch campuses in the United States. Opponents, including the American Medical Association and a physician group, argue that allowing unaccredited medical schools to operate here could jeopardize health care. The two institutions are distinctly different: a for-profit school in the West Indies, and a Uganda-based nonprofit school specializing in tropical medicine. (MSE)
