Accreditation and Equivalency
As there are no clinical rotation nor clinical training, the MD degree is not accredited nor equivalent to any other MD degree. However, graduates should be considered the same as any other unlicensed MD for purposes of employment. The Undergraduate Portion of the program, comprising 120 credits, would be expected to be considered equivalent to a US undergraduate degree by CUFCE.org, a respected foreign education reviewer whose reports are accepted by the US Office of Personnel management, and US Department of State.
