However, We have followed and completed all the requirements of TCM, but what we get at the end? The fake degree. And that was not enough, they also created Ph.D and we all know that they are unacceptable degree. unrecognized, not accredited, not as they ( TCM schools ) clearly stated " accredited " . IT is now for more tempted, ABORM . Why don't we do something to stop this kind of behave? ACCREDITED, MY PHONY HOLY !!!!!!!!! Any organization can open itself a school and claims that his title is accredited but not so I think this constitutes a fraud. Can we see something fishy?

Right, Chinese language studies, perhaps Chinese cultural studies. Certainly physics, engineering, law or chemistry doesn't prep for CM, and, in fact, can greatly impair CM education. > I don't believe we need prerequiste training.

Period. We do not need to follow the western university model which churns out plenty of graduates, many of which are unprepared for the job market or do not have a job market to go into - there is no solution there. > > My two cents, > Hugo > > > > <johnkokko > > > > 1. allow for only 2 years as a pre-requisite for entry into our schools > > 2. we don't have an entry level exam, such as the MCATs... > > 3. many Asian medical schools in the country have only around 2000 hours of > > didactic/clinical training. > > (contrast this with med schools, D.O. schools and D.C. schools - 4200 hours > > minimum) > > 4. we don't have an official residency training available for graduates > > > > > > > > <!-- > > #ygrp-mlmsg {font-size:13px;font-family:arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;} > #ygrp-mlmsg table {font-size:inherit;font:100%;} > #ygrp-mlmsg select, input, textarea {font:99% arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;} > #ygrp-mlmsg pre, code {font:115% monospace;} > #ygrp-mlmsg * {line-height:1.22em;} > #ygrp-text{ > font-family:Georgia; > } > #ygrp-text p{ > margin:0 0 1em 0;} > #ygrp-tpmsgs{ > font-family:Arial; > clear:both;} > #ygrp-vitnav{ > padding-top:10px;font-family:Verdana;font-size:77%;margin:0;} > #ygrp-vitnav a{ > padding:0 1px;} > #ygrp-actbar{ > clear:both;margin:25px 0;white-space:nowrap;color:#666;text-align:right;} > #ygrp-actbar .left{ > float:left;white-space:nowrap;} > .bld{font-weight:bold;} > #ygrp-grft{ > font-family:Verdana;font-size:77%;padding:15px 0;} > #ygrp-ft{ > font-family:verdana;font-size:77%;border-top:1px solid #666; > padding:5px 0; > } > #ygrp-mlmsg #logo{ > padding-bottom:10px;} > > #ygrp-vital{ > background-color:#e0ecee;margin-bottom:20px;padding:2px 0 8px 8px;} > #ygrp-vital #vithd{ > font-size:77%;font-family:Verdana;font-weight:bold;color:#333;text-transform:upp\ ercase;} > #ygrp-vital ul{ > padding:0;margin:2px 0;} > #ygrp-vital ul li{ > list-style-type:none;clear:both;border:1px solid #e0ecee; > } > #ygrp-vital ul li .ct{ > font-weight:bold;color:#ff7900;float:right;width:2em;text-align:right;padding-ri\ ght:.5em;} > #ygrp-vital ul li .cat{ > font-weight:bold;} > #ygrp-vital a { > text-decoration:none;} > > #ygrp-vital a:hover{ > text-decoration:underline;} > > #ygrp-sponsor #hd{ > color:#999;font-size:77%;} > #ygrp-sponsor #ov{ > padding:6px 13px;background-color:#e0ecee;margin-bottom:20px;} > #ygrp-sponsor #ov ul{ > padding:0 0 0 8px;margin:0;} > #ygrp-sponsor #ov li{ > list-style-type:square;padding:6px 0;font-size:77%;} > #ygrp-sponsor #ov li a{ > text-decoration:none;font-size:130%;} > #ygrp-sponsor #nc { > background-color:#eee;margin-bottom:20px;padding:0 8px;} > #ygrp-sponsor .ad{ > padding:8px 0;} > #ygrp-sponsor .ad #hd1{ > font-family:Arial;font-weight:bold;color:#628c2a;font-size:100%;line-height:122%\ ;} > #ygrp-sponsor .ad a{ > text-decoration:none;} > #ygrp-sponsor .ad a:hover{ > text-decoration:underline;} > #ygrp-sponsor .ad p{ > margin:0;} > o {font-size:0;} > .MsoNormal { > margin:0 0 0 0;} > #ygrp-text tt{ > font-size:120%;} > blockquote{margin:0 0 0 4px;} > .replbq {margin:4;} > --> > > > ________ > Photos – NEW, now offering a quality print service from just 7p a photo http://uk.photos. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
