According to the IMED listing, the college was formerly named St. Christopher's College of Medicine, and diplomas prior to 2006 were awarded under that name rather than by the university. Degrees from this medical college have been listed as unacceptable by the General Medical Council in the UK and some state governments in the US.

Accreditation

United Kingdom

SCIMD was the subject of BBC coverage which highlighted the school as an example of a loophole allowing essentially unregulated medical schools to operate in the UK. This led to an investigation by the General Medical Council, resulting in the withdrawal of registration of at least one doctor, and the publication of a list of schools deemed unacceptable for registration, including St. Christopher. The GMC website was subsequently amended to include a list of schools deemed unacceptable for registration, including St Christopher. SCIMD College of Medicine is now accredited by the UK-based Accreditation Service for International Colleges but is still deemed unacceptable by the GMC for primary registration.

United States

  • Alabama lists the school in a list of "Colleges of Medicine or Schools of Medicine" which are not approved by the Board for applications for certificates of qualification.
  • Indiana lists the school on the list of "Questionable Foreign Medical Schools" and applications for licensure from graduates will be considered on a "case by case" basis.
  • Maine lists the school on their list of "Unaccredited Post-Secondary Educational Institutions".
  • Oregon Office of Degree Authorization lists the school on their list of "degree suppliers that do not meet the requirements of ORS 348.609(1)."
  • Texas lists the school on their list of "Institutions Whose Degrees are Illegal to Use in Texas" as defined by Texas Code 61.302(11).
