St Christopher Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine is a medical training establishment in Luton, England. The medical college is listed in the International Medical Education Directory (IMED) as a college within the University El Hadji Ibrahima Niasse of Dakar, Senegal. 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 establishment have been listed as unacceptable by the General Medical Council in the United Kingdom and some state governments in the United States.
Accreditation, Registration, & Licensing
United Kingdom
St. Christopher's College of Medicine 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's College of Medicine. The GMC website was subsequently amended to include a list of schools deemed unacceptable for registration, including St Christopher's College of Medicine.
St Christopher's College of Medicine later went into liquidation in May 2006 and which made the original owners to re-establish St. Christopher Iba Mar Diop (SCIMD) College of Medicine under the company name "Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine Limited". The SCIMD College of Medicine is now accredited with Premier College status by the UK-based Accreditation Service for International Colleges, ASIC, which allows foreign students to enter the UK to study. The SCIMD College of Medicine is also listed under the company name "Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine Limited" on the United Kingdom Border Agency Register of Sponsors as employers of workers and provider of medical education to students from all places in the world. </ref>. It is still not recognised by the GMC for primary registration.
