recently a ad on indian news papers posted by sabu kurian and stmarysirl say that there is direct medical program with no donation etc. and promises USA equivalency MD education. THIS IS A LIE. He is advising people to study at AIMU(American International Medical Univeristy), AIMU is a "medical school" in a caribean island not in the usa. Students from there pretty much have no chance of getting a US MD program because they will not be able to get residency in USA. AIMU is run by a tamil nadu man name dr. raj, he is not even a real doctor. Some of my friends went to his school. They or none of their classmates were able to complete their education in the USA. PEOPLE WHO STUDY THERE WILL HAVE NO EQUIVALENCY TO INDIA , UK, OR CANADA. if you study there us hospitals will not take you for residency because it is a bad caribbean medical school. Only caribean medical school like Ross , St.johns, AUC, and one other medical school is approved to practise in US. You will only have a 5 percent chance of getting US md degree if u go to AIMU.
