St Christopher Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine (SCIMD-COM) is identified as a medical training establishment in Luton, England. Details are somewhat obscure but it appears to be a satellite of Ecole de Médecine St Christopher Iba Mar Diop (EM-SCIMD) which is a college within the Universite El Hadji Ibrahima Niasse (UEIN) in Dakar, Senegal.

The school lacks accreditation in the UK and achieved prominence when BBC coverage 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 by name as unacceptable

A UK credit reference agency lists two companies with this name as being in liquidation.
