Has anyone heard or enrolled in GRADUATE MEDICAL CENTER which is a private agency that provides hands-on training in U.S hospitals for a fee? If so, does it really help IMGS

InSitu - 02-19-08 09:28 If block your registartion then there is somehting to hide. Do not purchase any services from companies that are not honest enough to tell you who they are.

Re: GMC
InSitu - 02-20-08 02:42 You welcome rad..
Just seen a post at the usmle message board forum on americlerkships where they are offering a guy 50% refund as gauaranteed residency as an advertisement on google. They asked him for 30k :). Since we all know the guaranteed residency terms is used by scam services we come to conclude that they actually charge 15k non-refundable...well thats a heck lots of money to keep. What a cheap trick used by these immature services. Also he mentioned that they advertised being in business since 1999 and then looked at thier bbb record they started the business in 2007. Go figure.
So thats how they work...the plant a false seed of hope in you for a guarantee and then they keep 15 k...in other words they cant sell you a service for 15k non refundable so they trick you in a 30k guarantee 50% refund...hope you get me.
The funiest of all the guy is a lawyer who is sending them for auditing. Not sure why the guys sound too upset but he has something for them. I bet the same goes for GMCgroup.

mindswapper - 02-20-08 09:42 If he claims that he guarantees residency for 15k, then he is a declared bogus!

Re: GMC
InSitu - 02-20-08 10:01 no i don't think you get me. They asked him for 30k with a refund guarantee. SO they make you think there is hope but if not we keep 15k. You and I know that there is no guarantee so the above transaltes to 15k NONrefundable with no gauarantee. So they still make 15 k of you. Thats a lot of money to keep.

Re: GMC
radhamesramos - 02-20-08 10:55 so they keep 15k from you, and then no residency minus 15k of your bank account

Re: GMC
InSitu - 02-20-08 11:03 The thing is its very hard to be honest because you make less money. People want to hear guarantees and specially these desprate ones. I can understand them keeping money if lots of work been done from their part but for God sake do not throw this guarantee trick because its just stupid.

Re: GMC
radhamesramos - 02-25-08 09:39 He is faculty from Kaplan, he is cardiologist, from New York, I think, whose lectures are among the most interesting, fascinating, and learning experiences you'll ever had. Very dynamic, concise, and complete. Besides, he is very approachable, and funny in his own way.
But , his greatest contribution is the Ethics material for step 3. I don't know if you know that not knowing how to deal with the ethical part of the questions is one of our greatest burdens when we are taking the exam, before starting a residency training

Re: GMC
adinabratescu - 02-25-08 09:48 what cardiologist?? maybe internal medicine;
