St Johns University School of Medicine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St John’s University School of Medicine was a medical school operated by Interactive Technology Group, Inc. (ITG) of Eugene, Oregon, which was supposedly based in Montserrat, West Indies. It offered online distance courses such as Neuro Anatomy, Lung Pathology, Cat Lab and Lab Animal Science trainer for a monthly subscription fee, as well as some classes which were taught in Klamath Falls, and Eugene, Oregon. Though it claimed to be accredited through St. Christopher's College of Medicine of Dakar, Senegal and Luton, England, the school is not accredited by any recognised accreditation body. As such, its degrees may not be acceptable to employers or other institutions, and use of degree titles may be restricted or illegal in some jurisdictions. In July of 2000, the State of Oregon Department of Justice issued a restraining order and filed a lawsuit to close down the school, since St. John's was never accredited by Montserrat, and St. Christopher's accreditation status is dubious.
