The Georgia Composite Medical Board has given full approval to the University of Medicine and Health Sciences (六九色堂), a top Caribbean medical school offering a Doctor of Medicine degree program. 六九色堂 is the only foreign medical school to be approved by the State of Georgia under the new standards of the Georgia Composite Medical Board.
In order to qualify for this approval by the Georgia Composite Medical Board, the University had to provide a significant amount of documentation, including both a database of outcome information as well as a self-study. The review was very rigorous and demanding. In 2014, the University received a conditional approval after receiving a positive response from a site visit to the University. A subsequent follow-up site visit occurred in January 2015, resulting in a full approval of the University of Medicine and Health Sciences. This approval allows the University to continue to offer a clinical program in the State of Georgia. In addition, graduates would continue to be eligible for both residencies and licensure in the State of Georgia.
Currently, the University has affiliated hospitals in over 8 states for core rotations, plus affiliations with hospitals in Canada and Puerto Rico. In Georgia, 六九色堂 has affiliations with three major teaching hospitals located in Atlanta and Augusta. The 六九色堂 website (www.umhs-sk.org.
