Accreditation

As we offer no clinical rotations, our M.D. program is not accredited. 

If some kind of accreditation or equivalency review is important to you, that is probably a sign that our program is not a good fit for you, and you should look at other programs that might better suit.

In lieu of clinical training, we present courses in medical management related topics.

Notice: The MD degree issued by Blue Marble University can never be used for physician licensing purposes, to satisfy any education requirements for licensing as a physician or other licensed health care provider, or for any work involving direct patient care. In the USA and most countries, it is illegal to hold oneself out as a licensed physician unless one is in fact licensed. Also, credits are not likely transferrable to any program.

Blue Marble University is located in Dominica. Most medical schools in the world are not accredited. If the country in which they operate puts their name into Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER), their students are approved to sit for the US licensing exams (USMLE’s) even though many foreign students only have diplomas, or bachelor of medicine degrees, not even medical doctoral degrees.

Although Blue Marble University (not Medical School) degrees and programs are accredited internationally and also have been determined to be equivalent to regionally accredited USA colleges, this may not apply to the M.D. program at Blue Marble University Medical School.

It is unclear to us why why someone seeking an executive style MD would need such review. Our 3-Year Online M.D. Degree is ONLY for Careers in Medical Management, Pharmaceuticals, Regulatory Affairs, Research, Medical Writing, and Other Endeavors as described Here: Non-Clinical Careers for Unlicensed MD’s

If you wish to pursue the possibility of equivalency to a PhD review, we suggest you study the website for the California University Foreign Credential Evaluation Service [CUFCE.org], and, if interested, maybe request a review of equivalency to a US PhD degree.

We are not guarantors of any favorable review, nor that a favorable review would lead to this or that job.  If this is important to you, best to look elsewhere for your educational needs.
