Description
Accreditation versus recognition: two meaningful terms in the realm of foreign credentials. How do these apply to the more than 50 “state-less” medical schools in the Caribbean? This presentation provides an in-depth explanation of accreditation and other agencies that grant recognition to offshore medical schools, many of which do not follow the educational system of their host countries. Data presented is the result of research conducted under the auspices of AACRAO’s IESC fellowship program.
