    Came across this one in my travels:

    http://www.miua.net

    I am no expert on US based medical universities, but the domain etc looks suspicious.

    Cheers,

    There doesn't appear to be a distance learning element.

    It looks as if it might be the finest new medical school in Haiti since the Papa Doc College of Medicine disappeared from the Doonesbury comic.

    Its a hard one John - no real listing anywhere. There is a link here on a University of Texas page, but that's all I can find.

    Cheers,

    George

    the profs, you betcha

    Inspection of the web site shows that absolutely NONE of the MIU profs have degrees from unaccredited-non-US universities!

    Mwen ke apwen en Haiti oui papa!

    Hey, they're in my neighborhood!

    By that I mean their office is in Davie, Florida in Broward County (new motto: "Yikes, we're about to get slammed by Hurricane Frances!")

    The thing is, there are a lot of Haitian immigrants here in Broward County. In fact, as South Florida goes, Fort Lauderdale is to Haiti as Miami is to Cuba.

    It's not inconceivable to me that there are Haitians involved in this project who genuinely seek to start a real medical school that is for Haitians to attend. It's further conceivable that the reason for the Florida office is that this is where most of the Haitians with money are. And hey, they offer a phone number in Haiti, so they're already a cut above most of the mills that claim to be in the West Indies. :)

    Anyway, I'm not saying that's the case. I'm just saying it might be worth it to ask questions before simply dismissing this one out of hand.

    (It is using really unfortunate-sounding names, though.)
