Blue Marble University Medical School offers the only online M.D. program intended for non-clinical careers in medicine. From time to time we hear from students that have found our website and have expressed their delight and amazement at our 3 year online offering. It is amazing to us as well that anyone can find us with most institutions spending millions of dollars for location on page 1 of Google.
Some students have requested we supply names of graduates for them to “talk to”. We do not use our current students or graduates to “sell” our program. If you cannot be convinced of the merits of our unique MD program from our presentation on our website, as well as our superior affordability, we do not think you will learn anything further from our former students.
In searching for reviews of Blue Marble University Medical School, you are not likely to find much. Some early reviews from med students at other schools heartily criticized us for offering medical education “online”. But at that time, we correctly predicted this: “So, don’t think an online medical degree program is off in left field somewhere, but rather know that this form of medical education is new and real and coming soon to every medical school near you”. Now, years later, you would be hard pressed to find ANY medical school that does not require the first two years of medical school to be “online”. Many now even incorporate online video instruction into the clinical portions of their programs!
For those that would like to see some kind words from some of our graduates, we offer the following as being reviews of Blue Marble University Medical School:

Every course in the program has been a challenge in its own way, and all the reviews and feedback throughout the program were instrumental in improving the work that followed— whether in style, structure, or, most importantly, focus on each subject. I have learned an incredible amount, which is difficult to fully quantify, but I am deeply grateful for the entire program.
The curriculum has opened clear doors to further knowledge and understanding across many subjects. Academically, the structure provided much-needed direction. Interestingly, these studies began out of urgency to help others recover their health. At the beginning, the volume of medical information felt overwhelming and almost impossible to navigate. I am very pleased that the curriculum gave me the right foundations—exactly what I needed.
With this preparation, I now have many projects ahead, from health consultancy and content development to potential research studies. Overall, the program has better equipped me to guide and help others in health matters, and many will benefit from this work.
I would also like to extend my sincere appreciation to the entire University staff—from the registrar to every professor. Everyone has been fantastic. A special thanks to Dr. Drake for creating the University and making high-quality medical education accessible online.

Hello, Dr. Walter P. Drake,JD. It was a superior and interesting Doctor’s program. It was a very interesting and arranged program through which all staff of Blue Marble University Medical school dedicated services to have awarded my Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) in Medical Arts. I am proud of you and your team, as you are the founders to address throughout the world’s individuals who had and will have lower socio-economy and higher demand for knowledge and skills. Everything, you made scientific work to balance between high income and low income people. I do not have words to explain it. I just have so much endless thankyou’s for your setting up the online MD degree and D.Sc. programs and to all Blue Marble University staff participants.

Dear Dr. Chopra- I’m incredibly grateful for the time and care you put into reviewing my exams—your commentary and insights were not only helpful but also eye-opening, especially around the nuanced realities of transplant immunology and the regulatory barriers to autologous therapies. I learned a great deal through your courses, and your guidance has sharpened my thinking in ways that will carry forward into both my clinical and scientific work. Your honesty, intellectual rigor, and willingness to challenge conventional narratives are qualities I deeply admire. Please know that I would welcome any opportunity to collaborate with you in the future, whether through research, advocacy, or academic initiatives… I am very proud alumni!

Letter of Gratefulness: I express my honor and gratitude to my Instructor who helped me in learning of many therapeutic approaches of adult stem cell therapy. I express my utmost honor and respect to my teacher Dr. T who inspired me, impressed me and pressured me mentally to be more serious and attentive to supplied study materials. He is my first instructor who taught me paired mouse experiment, bio-identical hormones etc. I am so pleased after receiving my degree package. I am happy and glad having a foreign degree. I think the dream of my late father gained a success, who always thought, his son would achieve a foreign medical degree.

“Hello Dr. Drake: I finished my last course, and I just wanted to say thank you for your time and patience throughout the program. This program was outstanding and I learned so much. The Stem Cell term and hospital management areas were most helpful and peaked my interest to pursue these areas possibly. The mentorship and support in this program is fantastic.
In this age of coronavirus I am seeing how online education may set a new paradigm in its efficacy and that it is comparable to that of brick and mortar. Your medical doctorate program at BMU is engaging, challenging and transformative. Best regards.”

“I really have to thank you for the opportunity and tremendous experience!! I am trying to find reasons why Blue Marble University School of Medicine, is not yet accredited. Again, I state the fact, the Blue Marble University Medical school MD program is equal to an MD-PhD program offered by many so-called accredited schools. This is not a eulogy, but from my first hand experience having gone through quite a few universities. It’s my experience that the value of accredited schools has dropped down within my personal space. What I could not get a grip on, for example in terms of a research paper analysis in the past, I did that in your program. I was not used to write ups, essay types in Medical Schools. Of course, MCQs are a good way of learning the precise facts, but essay types are best for demonstrating the comprehension, thought process, and ability to reproduce a sequence of events. Therefore, I don’t have any hesitation to say that your MD program is no less than any popular accredited medical school. I once again thank you for the time and consideration!”
